I'm taking part in the Positively Parkinson's Swim Challenge!
Parkinson's Disease is a progressive neurological condition which involves the loss of dopamine producing cells in the brain which controls movement and makes day-to-day activities difficult. Parkinson's is largely controlled through medication and whilst currently there is not a cure, Cure Parkinson's, a leading Parkinson's medical research charity, is totally committed to slowing, halting and reversing the condition.
To compliment medication, exercise plays a key part in an individuals management plan which engenders determination and a positive attitude to live the best life they can, through being active, confident, empowered and positive.
That's why I'm taking on the challenge. Thank you for your support.
