Story
I have Parkinson's disease...
...A progressive neurological condition for which there is currently no cure. Today 10 million people around the world have Parkinson's, estimates suggest this will double by 2033 - the world's fastest growing neurological condition. In the Uk 1 in 37 people will be diagnosed in their lifetime.
Cure Parkinson's are here for the cure. Cure Parkinson’s is working with urgency to find new treatments to slow, stop and reverse Parkinson’s.
Their funding and innovation has redefined the field of Parkinson’s research, enabling the world’s leading researchers to prioritise the next generation of drugs for clinical trial.
By the end of 2022 Cure Parkinson's will have two of only four drugs in Phase III medical trials globally. Their impact and influence continue to exceed all expectations.
But their International Committee of leading Neuroscientists have prioritised 43 drugs for urgent investigation, and we need a step change in funding to complete trials of these substances in the next five years.
In 2017 I was diagnosed with Parkinson's. And as Chairman of their Development Board I am committed to work tirelessly to with the Cure Parkinson's team, my fellow board members and all our supporters to raise £40m to accelerate research.
I do this in the knowledge that, due to their influence and track record, each £ we raise will catalyse a ratio 7:1 of further funding from their network of partners.
We need your help!
Together we will conquer Parkinson’s.
