Parkinson’s UK

I've known Genna for several years and it was great to catch up last week and capture several new images for my personal photography project 'Living with early onset Parkinson's'

"When I was diagnosed with Parkinsons at the age of 34 years old I felt like my world had crumbled around me. I knew very little about the disease. I’d never ‘knowingly’ met anyone with the Parkinson’s. I say knowingly as I’ve since learnt that everyone with Parkinson’s presents there symptoms in different ways. I for instance don’t have any obvious outward signs. I have no obvious tremor. Which is a blessing and a curse at the same time. I say that because it’s nice that I can be seen as a ‘normal 36 year old’ by strangers but at the same time people don’t understand when I have slowness of movement, I’m struggling, tiered or stumbling.
