Hi my name is Paula and I am 58 years old. I have just been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. My Dad died of Parkinson’s last year at the of 80, I can’t help but feel this is more than coincidence . I have read that there is a chance that my Parkinson’s could be linked to changes in the LRRK2 gene known as G2019S. I am interested in taking part in research to help not only build a better future for me but for my children and future generations. I work in the nhs as a strategic manager for a primary care network, I have a busy life , like to keep fit, have run marathons and this diagnosis has come as a massive blow, but I want to proactive and stay positive. Please contact me if you feel I would be suitable for entry into clinical trials or research programmes
