I really enjoyed this discussion with @Mphodgkinson of @scope, talking about the impact of the cost of living crisis on disabled people, the importance of language and the need for collaboration to make progress. #IDPD2022#Disability
We were joined by Mark Hodgkinson, CEO of @Scope, and @ClareTaalab, Head of Volunteering and Society Partners at Deloitte. Claire shared her lived experiences after being diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson's 3 years ago.
Thank you for bringing this topic into the light 🙌
.@watsoncomedian I’ve just watched “This Can’t Be It” and discovered that you, like me, need a recipe that’s idiot-proof (I hope you’ll forgive the phrase!) Try this one for delicious and uncockupable brownies https://t.co/vH0kQvuJa3 1/2
@jonny_acheson Jonny, you must do what is best for you and your family. But I hope the words of one person don’t drown out the voices of hundreds who value your thoughtful and considered contributions x
A wee thread about a young boy and the tweet that got away. Feel free to RT.
Three weeks ago my youngest, Gabriel 12, came home upset. His love of woodwork was not deemed cool, nor was only having 6 followers on his instagram. 1/15

@jonny_acheson@theneuroheroes@RoseDon79544976@JulieRockley After 849 #sit2stand I wasn’t up for a whole extra minute. So here’s my final 40, making 889 in total. Was supposed to be 879, one for every day of living with a Parkinson’s diagnosis but Parkinson’s can cause memory problems so I’ll blame the extra 10 on that!
Do not confuse anxiety with weakness.
It takes tremendous strength to get out of your comfort zone, show up and do your best.
Courage does not exist in the absence of fear.

On World Parkinson's Day 11th April, I'm doing @theneuroheroes Sit2Stand Challenge, attempting 879 Sit2Stands. One for every day of living with YOPD between diagnosis on 15th November 2019 and World Parkinson's Day. Sign up & join me! https://t.co/z3KnzH5KU0 #Parkinsons#YOPD
