This is an interesting story I came across today about Parkinson's which we have been looking at recently in the Listening assessment.
At 29, Ellie Finch Hulme was diagnosed with a condition often associated with much older people - Parkinson's disease. She decided it wasn't going to stop her living her life the way she wanted to.
I really like the content of this article, where Ellie gives a clear picture of her view of this horrible disease. I'm sure this will be of interest to many of you and there are some helpful statistics, and a link to Parkinson's UK too, found here: https://www.parkinsons.org.uk/parkinsons-is
Many thanks,
Mark
