Guy Deacon

@ghjdeacon is undertaking a very special 12,000 mile journey by road from the United Kingdom to South Africa to draw attention to the urgent need for support, information and resources about Parkinson’s across Africa @CureParkinsonsT @ParkinsonsAfrica

Spreading awareness about Parkinson’s disease is a huge part of why I’ve undertaken this journey. So, thank you to @BBCNews for sharing my story in an effort to improve our understanding of the disease. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Today is #WorldParkinsonsDay 💙 In a special moment, @UKinSierraLeone waved off @ghjdeacon as he began his 7000 mile journey from Freetown➡️Cape Town supporting @CureParkinsonsT, raising awareness for Parkinson’s & @ParkinsonAfrica & breaking down stigmas around the disease.

What an inspiring video. Take a watch 👇

@sojustice @LisaJChesney Thank you for your kind wishes. I am travelling by car!

@LisaJChesney @ghjdeacon We wish him all the best in his mission. And please create some awareness about humanity and the environment too! How is Guy travelling? Is he flying, by car, bicycle or on foot?

Inspiring to hear from @ghjdeacon about the 7000 mile journey he'll make from Freetown-Cape Town, over 14 countries. Retd. Col Guy has Parkinson's. He's on a mission to raise awareness about the disease in Africa and its stigma.We're cheering you on Guy!👇indiegogo.com/projects/freet…

@BBCr4today I’m a retired Army colonel with Parkinson’s disease, about to drive 5,000 miles solo from Sierra Leone to South Africa. Battling the symptoms and confronting the stigma’s associated with Parkinson's, I'm filming a documentary and I would like to share my story.
