A Charter for people living with Parkinson’s.

Here’s a message from Parkinson’s UK, the
national charity supporting people living with
Parkinson’s, their families and carers. (They also
raise money to fund research to improve
treatment and, ultimately, find a cure.)

“We, along with Cure Parkinson’s and Spotlight YOPD (Young Onset
Parkinson's Disease) support the principles of Charter and are promoting it
wherever we can - we’re hoping you can help us gain more support!”
The Charter has been drafted by the Movers and Shakers, a group of public
figures who all have Parkinson’s and are not afraid to say what they think. And
they have been saying it - in their Podcast ”Movers and Shakers”. Their own
experiences, and those of the thousands of people who have written to them,
have prompted them to draw up 'The Parky Charter', describing 5 things that
people with Parkinson’s need from the government but are not getting.
Its 5 ‘asks’ include a personal plan for people with Parkinson’s to have access to
a multidisciplinary health team, plus a commitment to increased investment in
research.

Please Sign the petition for the Parky Charter

Join with the Movers and Shakers, Parkinson’s UK, Spotlight YOPD and Cure
Parkinson’s to call on the government to take action to improve the lives of
people with Parkinson’s and their loved ones.

This is a direct link to the Petition:
https://campaign.parkinsons.org.uk/page/145665/petition/1
Please sign if you agree with the Principles, and share, far and wide. We
need 100,000 signatures to make the government take notice and hold a
debate on the Charter. It will be a tremendous help if you, your adult family
members and friends each sign. Please spread
the word!
From me and all others living with Parkinson’s -
Thank you - for your support.
