A Parkinson's diagnosis can sometimes bring feelings of isolation and loneliness.
That's why Sport Parkinson's events are so important. They bring people together, create genuine connections and remind everyone that they are not facing this journey alone.
This Men's Mental Health Month, remember to check in with a friend. A simple conversation could make more difference than you realise.
Connection matters. You are never alone.

Very proud of the @CureParkinsonsT team for driving this forward. #Parkinsons is complex & disease modification will require combinatorial approaches. We have to be encouraging exploration in this space. Excited to see the results of these projects, some really interesting ideas!

Less than 5% of people with Parkinson’s are taking part in clinical research studies. Let’s change that. We’re calling on MPs to declare “I support Cure Parkinson’s campaign to empower more people living with Parkinson’s to take part in research.” Join us: buff.ly/mzLk6Nu
