Biography

I  am a Person with Parkinson’s, diagnosed in 2007. I set out to learn as much as possible about PD and have attended conferences in Australia and overseas including the World Parkinson Congress in Montreal, Canada in 2013, WPC in Portland, Oregon in 2016 and WPC in Kyoto, Japan in 2019. I exercise as much as possible, twenty to forty five minutes daily on the exercise bike, walking, attending yoga classes and generally keeping fit by spending time with my grand children and great grand children. I collect coins and stamps to exercise fine finger muscles and play scrabble regularly, do crosswords and read to exercise my brain. I play an active role in our local Parkinson’s Support Group and try to think positively.
