The Movers & Shakers are made up of Jeremy Paxman, Cure Parkinson’s patrons Rory Cellan-Jones and Paul Mayhew-Archer, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell and Nicholas Mostyn. Together they produce Podcasts.
Since starting the podcasts, the group have received thousands of emails and letters the and have gained a real insight into the experiences of others living with Parkinson’s. This has led them to the conclusion that Parkinson’s, the fastest growing neurological condition in the world, must be taken more seriously by the government and healthcare providers.
The group have published a Charter – ‘The Parky Charter’ – which describes five things that people affected by Parkinson’s need from the government (see image below).
One of significant aspects in the charter highlights that there is currently no cure for Parkinson’s, and calls on the government to increase funding towards research.
