Author - My Parkinson's Journey

One moment, I was living my ordinary life; the next, I was confronting Parkinson's disease. That brief consultation forever changed my world. Fourteen years later, I’m sharing my journey to help others navigate their own.

 A great achievement after 14 years is to be still playing golf. I have represented Team England in the 4 Nations Golf Tournament for the past two years.
