Mark - "Gambling was a way to distract me from the reality of my health"
Description
This months episode is about the link between Parkinsons Disease and gambling. When Mark asked his Parkinson's Nurse about provision and support for those with Young Onset Parkinson's Disease (YOPD), the response that there was very little available referred to the local area, in which there was a very active Parkinson's UK local branch who were already very established and effective at supporting those affected by the disease at an older age. Since the WhatsApp group was set up, there has become a very strong partnership with the local Parkinson's UK group, who have been quick to support this growing group. Please note due to the condition, there is some background noise due to Mark's tremmers, which is one of the symptoms of parkinsons disease.
