RIP Ozzy Osbourne (1948 – 2025). As a global rock icon, Ozzy inspired millions with his music, but even more profoundly, he moved the Parkinson’s community by bravely sharing his diagnosis and becoming a pioneer in the conversation around advanced therapies, including stem cell treatments. His transparency gave hope to countless individuals and families navigating this challenging journey. I am grateful for his courage, candor and commitment to progress in Parkinson’s research. We honored his story and explained the type of Parkinson's he had (PARKIN gene) in the publication The Conversation which can be read at: theconversation.com/ozzy-osb…. Thank you Ozzy, you made a huge difference in the lives of many people. @FixelInstitute @ParkinsonDotOrg @OzzyOsbourne

A significant number of people with Parkinson's, potentially 1 in 3, feel the need to hide their symptoms or diagnosis, often due to stigma and fear of social repercussions. What is your experience with this? šŸ‘‡šŸ½

#ParkinsonsAwarenessMonth In 2018 I was writing my dissertation whilst studying to be an Occupational Therapist on the impact Physical Activity had on people living with Parkinson's. Here I discovered Boxing for Parkinson's. 7 years of having massive success with PwP's. @theRCOT

Yet again the worst off and most vulnerable people are chosen to shoulder the countries debt, poor spending choices and wastage that those at the top of the food chain don't care about.
Just one week after announcing the biggest disability welfare cuts in a decade, the UK government has today announced yet another real terms cut for people living with long-term conditions. Here is our response. #DisabilityBenefits #SpringStatement
