Visit: Ayrshire Parkinson's Group
/I was honoured to attend the Ayrshire Parkinson's Group meeting in Irvine. I was invited along by my constituent, Isaac Alvarez, who is affected by Parkinson’s himself and also fundraises on its behalf.
He and his son recently trekked 800km on the Camino Santiago, raising an impressive £1,335 for Parkinson’s Research & Ayrshire Young Parkinson’s Group. His dedication is truly remarkable.
I met with him initially back in August where I agreed to attend a group meeting.
It was harrowing to hear from so many affected by the disease. I would encourage anyone affected to get involved with the support group and continue the great work being done.
