Rory, my friend Gillian Sharpe is cycling to Barcelona, raising money for Parkinson’s Research and volunteering at the conference. Her journey started from Stirling 🏴. If you come across her at the conference say hello 👋 and well done on her huge effort. 🚴🏻
On Friday 30th June at 8pm in the UK Alison Anderson from Cure Parkinson’s & Gary Shaughessey from Parkinson’s UK will speak to the Mayor of Medway via zoom. The Mayor of Medway will be at a pre World Parkinson’s Congress event in Rochester with WPC attendees and others, including Professor David Wilkinson from the NEW Parkinson’s Centre for Integrated Therapy, Jon Stamford a long-standing supporter of Cure Parkinson’s and members of the Parkinson’s UK: Medway Working Age Group.
Can't wait to meet you in Barcelona Rory, being a fellow Welsh person! Looking forward to find out what you think of the latest tracking tech and how it might help our Reach Your Peak community track their symptoms in relation to their exercise :)
This is so good to read. I am an exercise teacher specialising in Neuro conditions and most have PD. Many of those with PD get depressed because they can’t do the hard strenuous stuff and they’re told that’s the only type of exercise that will help but it’s not true. Mobility and flexibility exercises are vital not only for their physical symptoms but for their mental and emotional health too.

I hope you have a good week and that, as well as collecting some useful info for us all, you will also have chance just to enjoy being in Barcelona.

What an excellent endeavour, Rory, both for interacting with other Parkies, and importantly, your tenacious technical and medical fact-gathering.
A green transport option need not just be cycling - it may cost more but the research would be fascinating and help save the planet eg Eurostar
I hope it's an informative and enjoyable trip, Rory.
