If you know 66 people, chances are you know someone who knows Parkinson’s.The Parkinson’s community has been busy collecting and creating a map of stories - working with Parkinson’s UK and The Cure Parkinson’s Trust to help people get to know Parkinson’s.
It’s not just people living with Parkinson’s that are affected by it. In the UK, a million friends, families, neighbours, colleagues, researchers and more have stories to tell. Everyone’s experience of Parkinson’s is different. And how they feel about it is different too.
