A wonderful time was had a couple of weeks ago, as we celebrated the successes of the recent Back to the Beginning concert with Sharon and Kelly Osbourne. The event was in support of Ozzy's chosen charities: ourselves, Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, and Acorns Children's Hospice.

We were honoured when Joanna Trollope CBE, chose to become involved with Cure Parkinson’s. She was a patron from 2019 to 2023 and her generous support did so much to raise awareness of Parkinson's. Our thoughts are with her family and friends at this time.

As an audiobook addict, I have been looking forward to this for a long time! As a thank you to all of our incredible supporters at the end of our 20th anniversary year, @cureparkinsons.org.uk brings you an audiobook journey of where it all began...

Tom Isaacs was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at just 27. Six years later, he walked the coastline of Britain and later co-founded Cure Parkinson’s. Now, you can follow Tom’s journey in his own voice through the audiobook Shake Well Before Use. The journey begins on 22 December: buff.ly/5TEHNJr
