What a day! When @ParkinsonsUK met @parkrunUK - an honour and privilege to meet Philip Thompson the co-founder of our Barnsley branch, who at 90 achieved his 100th parkrun milestone - trumps my 250th ❤️#parkrun

Second time @yorkparkrun - 6 years older, charity CEO rather than NHS CEO and nearly 8 minutes faster! What a difference - thank you @ParkinsonsUK @ActiveEssex @CIPFA @parkrunUK - much healthier and happier too!

Brilliant training in Solihull with @PDPioneers. We were 21 women strong today all either with Parkinson’s or connected. We leap but the guys need more training. Brain child of @annieconmonkey @ParkinsonsUK

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
To my darling wife Kate, I'm truly blessed in having Kate in my life. Kate helps many people living with Parkinson's and runs a quarterly meeting for carers, and a lot more, which is greatly appreciated.
As a treat, I booked lunch at Hayfield Manor.

Amazing ladies with Parkinson’s - gathering on Saturday in Derby to learn more about walking football and perhaps join our Parkinson’s Pioneers - the only women’s Parkinson’s football team in the world! @parkinsons.org.uk
