Hi Roy, As a carer for my wife Margaret. Parkinson, has completely distroyed her will to live, I know myself if I was in the same position. I would curtianly take my own life.We are cruel as humans to let then suffer as every thing that makes us what we are gets taken away by the full effects of long term parkinsons. To see your love one breaking her heart at not been able to do the simplest things, is so soul distroying and up setting for a carer. It really makes me angry that a discision to terminate your life is in someone else's hands. If you ever had a pet, you know when that pet has had enough, with the vets agreement it's put to sleep. Why then can it not be the same as for us humans!!!!

Fantastic achievement! Huge congratulations to Guy, not just for getting there – which is tough enough – but for all the media work along the way. You don't fancy driving the VW home then?

Wonderful stuff, and massive kudos to Guy for seeing it through against many odds.

While we're thinking about Parkinson's and Africa, don't miss the excellent news from Omatola Thomas (@omatolathomas8 on Twitter) about promoting Parkinson's awareness in Africa:
