Shining a light on Young Onset Parkinson's
About us
The aim of Spotlight YOPD is two-fold: • To raises awareness of Young Onset Parkinson’s. A condition diagnosed around 50 or under. It’s not just a condition that affects the elderly – in a bid to get better treatment and access to support (whatever your postcode). • To give the newly diagnosed the strength and support to stand up, be counted and help themselves – by working with their neurologist, PD nurse and GP.

Fab article from Rory with welcome mention of Spotlight YOPD (Registered Charity UK) and those 'too young' to have Parkinson's. G x
https://lnkd.in/efPTYgg8 I’ve written a column for The i paper about the stereotypes around Parkinson’s and how the Movers and Shakers podcast and our We Will Survive video aim to raise public understanding

Please take this survey so we can create some good data on how YOPD affects people
If you, a member of your family, or someone you care for has YOPD (Young Onset Parkinsons), please take this survey. The survey is set up by the Neurological Alliance and provides valuable data about Neurological conditions. By using this link we will get anonymised information about people with YOPD and all those who are affected. Many Thanks Nikki https://lnkd.in/eztyvcvZ

Some people write poems for Parkinson's Awareness Day - my lovely friend Matt Farrer and his co-authors wrote this instead. #hope #yopd https://lnkd.in/eEnUe_jK
YOPDers can 'do their bit' in many ways... but working with the scientists and sharing your 'inside view' as a patient can be invaluable. I've met some brilliant people over the last decade or so - researchers who are making a difference. I don't pretend to understand the science. My job is to help the scientists understand us. This paper has just been published https://lnkd.in/eUideGGV I know it's a big deal, I think I helped and it's always nice to get a mention. :-) Congrats to my mate Matt Farrer and the co-authors on PD awareness day.

Yesterday we had the pleasure of meeting an outstanding lady, Gaynor Edwards, former CEO of Spotlight YOPD (Registered Charity UK) when we printed some clothes for them for #WorldParkinsonsDay. Today they are travelling to #DowningStreet to submit the Parky Charter petition, campaigning for much needed changes to the help and assistance those with Parkinson’s. The work that Gaynor along with the associated charities, ParkinsonsUK, Cure Parkinson's and Spotlight YOPD (Registered Charity UK) and the podcast #Moversandshakers is truly amazing as they try raise awareness of #parkinsons. If you are interested in supporting this great cause their petition is listed here: https://lnkd.in/e-FA-tFm #petition #yopd #parkinsonsawarenessmonth
