Dundee RIG’s response to the Movers and Shakers “I will Survive”
At first, we were afraid,
We were feeling down,
Our Parkinsonion symptoms
made us scowl and frown.
But we learned that there is hope,
And we saw the shining light,
With Dundee’s Life Science Centre we are bound to win this fight.
Now we’re a RIG, We’re in the race,
With scientists and neuro doctors,
we’ve completely upped the pace.
When we got our diagnosis
We could all have given in
But with Parkinson's UK RIG,
We could even win.
So you might ask,
What RIG stands for?
It’s for meeting with the scientists,
Which is something we adore
We’re involved and closely follow
What the scientists all do
Helping find a cure for Parkey people,
People just like you
Now look at us,
We strive to thrive
With the trials and research going on,
They’re keeping hope alive
The guys at Dundee University
Are full of positivity
They'll help us thrive
Yes we will thrive
Hey Hey
Professor Dario Alessi and the research team with Esther, Miratul and Andy.
Everyone’s so Keen
They’re giving us all so much hope
When they’re studying our brains,
They’re the finest in the country
Making such good gains.
Let's not forget PD UK,
With the Fox Foundation co-funding, they'll take it all the way,
We will thrive, no matter what
With this Dundee scientific lot
We will thrive, yes we will thrive.
So we go on, Onward we stride,
With the scientists as if we're walking by their side.
We know they’ll never stop,
They will always persevere
And we can thrive,
Yes we will thrive
They'll find a cure!
