This pod explains why I (would) climb mountains for @CureParkinsonsT. Was challenging: Jeremy Paxman and The Hon. Mr Justice Mostyn give me quite a grilling. On Apple & Spotify: “The Cure” episode from 20:05. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

It’s done! Climbed Mt Ventoux 3 times on 2 wheels in 12 hours through sweltering heat. 2 of the 19 riders with me here have Parkinson’s; we all want a cure … please see justgiving.com/page/william-…

We’re here for the cure. Everything we do is to move us closer to our goal; and people who are living with Parkinson’s are at the heart of our research programme.

This is what drives me. There will likely be several routes to cure. But disease modification - actually changing the pathology of the brain - is our major and urgent focus.

Identifying agents that will slow or stop Parkinson’s from progressing is one step to correcting the condition. We are looking at ways to do this: buff.ly/3OzddxB

It’s pretty difficult living with #Parkinsons. When I’m struggling to get going in the morning, I watch this video. @SportParkinsons Never give up x

Tough day at the office. CP in CP? Certainly: running NY Marathon for @CureParkinsonsT was joyful then devastating then joyful. The second joyful kicked in at 26.2 in Central Park, and won’t go away soon. Back on the laptop today - we have a phase 3 clinical trial to fund.

20 years ago, 10 close friends staggered 26 miles together, raising funds for a cause that became @CureParkinsonsT. Tom Isaacs was one: he’d walked 4000 miles to warm up. Story at justgiving.com/fundraising/w…. Back in 2002-3, our cause needed awareness; now it needs specific funding

Medical research is so so hard. And Parkinson's is one of the toughest nuts to crack.
@CureParkinsonsT has got a really strong sense of mission and make great progress. A great organisation.
Highly recommend this piece by @ruskin147
