This is a photo and article of my dad and mum, and my dad is not the only one with Parkinson’s in my family. I am female and have YOPD. Parkinson’s affects the entire family unit, especially near the end for carers. The use of music has been wonderful for my dad, and when he plays his bass and sings he is himself for a brief time. Advocacy and education can do a lot, but money promotes action sooner.
