Cure Parkinson's are a great charity with a strong results-orientated ethos. It's worth giving a shout out to Helen Matthews (deputy CEO) who seems to have unlimited energy and enthusiasm, and Simon Stott (head of research) who also runs an excellent website (https://scienceofparkinsons.com/) plus the many others behind the scenes at the charity.
Rory, absolutely, I am grateful beyond words that someone like Will Cook, with his energy and commitment is pursuing a cure for Parkinson’s. How incredible to even be able to hope that in my lifetime there might be something that can slow, stop or reverse Parkinson’s and in the meantime, hope is a precious gift to give those of us living with the condition. An excellent interview. Thank you.
Exciting post! Ambroxol? If it is an over-the-counter drug could we take ‘just in case’ right now? Was that discussed? Rory - I’m a triallist on a University of Cambridge research programme into azathioprine as an existing drug that could be used to halt progress of PD - was this mentioned at all? Looking at the link between immunity/inflammation as drivers for degenerating cells.
This is great news and Will is clearly fired up. Hats off to him! As a former Trustee of one of the major military charities, it always struck me that we were chasing the same pounds and pennies, whilst all of those businesses had back offices duplicating and “wasting” so much income. Hoping that Cure Parkinson’s is streamlined, which I’m sure it will be.
