This pod explains why I (would) climb mountains for @CureParkinsonsT. Was challenging: Jeremy Paxman and The Hon. Mr Justice Mostyn give me quite a grilling. On Apple & Spotify: “The Cure” episode from 20:05. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/mov…

It’s done! Climbed Mt Ventoux 3 times on 2 wheels in 12 hours through sweltering heat. 2 of the 19 riders with me here have Parkinson’s; we all want a cure … please see justgiving.com/page/william-c…

Sunday morning vacuuming involved listening to a fantastic episode of the @moversand6 who were talking to @foltynie & @WillCookCPT about @CureParkinsonsT & the global research community's efforts on finding a cure for #Parkinsons open.spotify.com/episode/1BEXTX…

(1/2) Breaking news: A large phase 3 trial of ambroxol currently used to treat cough inflammation is to start in early 2023. This world-first trial will aim to establish its potential to slow the progression of Parkinson’s. buff.ly/3Xlu0r6 @VAInstitute @ParkinsonsUK

#dayatwestminister organised by ⁦@AMRC⁩ - talking charities and research with MPs. ⁦@ParkinsonsUK⁩ and ⁦@CureParkinsonsT⁩ united in our message about the importance of research for the Parkinson’s Community ⁦@WillCookCPT⁩

Fascinating day at the @AMRC Westminster event on Wednesday alongside @crassell2 of Parkinson's UK. Promoting importance of collaborative research with policymakers and charity colleagues @CureParkinsonsT @JimBethell amrc.org.uk/day-in-westmin…

We’re here for the cure. Everything we do is to move us closer to our goal; and people who are living with Parkinson’s are at the heart of our research programme. #PublicInvolvement @AMRC This pathway is so important to research charities Find out more: bit.ly/3h4m3qS

The team have been busy while I have been away... you can now order a very limited edition run of @GoodBadRugby ‘Nibble my Nuts’ and ‘These are not my wife’s’ budgies @budgysmuggleruk All profits will go to @CureParkinsonsT

Are these the world’s first budgie smugglers created in support of Parkinson’s research? Perhaps! Secret Santa pressie? Absolutely! Thank you to our jungle legend @miketindall13 for your support – get yours here with all profits going to Cure Parkinson’s. @GoodBadRugby

This is what drives me. There will likely be several routes to cure. But disease modification - actually changing the pathology of the brain - is our major and urgent focus.

THANK YOU all who encouraged & helped me since August: from injury to shuffle to injury to run! To answer queries: not too late to sponsor (if you like that sort of thing). All for @CureParkinsonsT and partner @VAInstitute . justgiving.com/fundraising/wi…. Full story there. Thank you.

It’s pretty difficult living with #Parkinsons. When I’m struggling to get going in the morning, I watch this video. ⁦⁦@SportParkinsons⁩ Never give up x

Thank you @VAInstitute for this opportunity. Pleasure and privilege to work with you towards a cure.

Tough day at the office. CP in CP? Certainly: running NY Marathon for @CureParkinsonsT was joyful then devastating then joyful. The second joyful kicked in at 26.2 in Central Park, and won’t go away soon. Back on the laptop today - we have a phase 3 clinical trial to fund.

20 years ago, 10 close friends staggered 26 miles together, raising funds for a cause that became @CureParkinsonsT. Tom Isaacs was one: he’d walked 4000 miles to warm up. Story at justgiving.com/fundraising/wi…. Back in 2002-3, our cause needed awareness; now it needs specific funding

Thank you to @ruskin147 for this insightful interview with our CEO @WillCookCPT. They discuss the history at the heart of charity, the latest advancements in our research work, and why our drive to find a cure is stronger than ever. #CureParkinsons rorycellanjones.substack.com/p/will-cooks-m…

Medical research is so so hard. And Parkinson's is one of the toughest nuts to crack. @CureParkinsonsT has got a really strong sense of mission and make great progress. A great organisation. Highly recommend this piece by @ruskin147 open.substack.com/pub/rorycellan…

All for @CureParkinsonsT and @VAInstitute

Got a bit carried away training for the NY marathon. Feeling the love! I fly this Friday, attempt it on Sunday. For more context please see justgiving.com/fundraising/wi….

@ChilternPhysio Nicky Edwards - thank you x100 for running NYM for @CureParkinsonsT and @VAInstitute - this tweet underlines why!

That’s what I’m talking about! Almost incessantly in fact. @CureParkinsonsT in strategic partnership with Van Andel Institute for prioritising & funding clinical trials for a cure. Fantastic, collaborative, inspirational week at VAI with our eminent iLCT committee. Link in bio
