This week the boys talk to Parkinson’s activist and fellow Podcaster Larry Gifford. His podcast ‘When Iife gives you Parkinson’s’ is an open and honest insight into the condition - no subject is out of bounds. Larry is also the founder of PD Avengers, a global alliance of people effected by the condition. In a wide ranging discussion we also talk about our D-Day (diagnosis) experiences, Larry's DBS journey and the impact Parkinson's has on relationships.

In this episode we speak to Professor Rimona Weil from University College London. Rimona is one of the world’s leading experts in Parkinson’s dementia.
It’s not as depressing as you might think!
She talks about ground breaking research which has discovered a link between vision and dementia, tells us who’s most at risk and whether it’s possible to prevent it! Plus how using pictures of cats and dogs can help to understand how cognition is affected in Parkinson’s.
We also talk about people’s reluctance to talk about Parkinson’s dementia…
