Parkinson's - How Bill has led an active life with this incurable condition

Karl Beckett Season 1 Episode 1

Bill Law, retired construction director, talks to me about how he has managed to lead an active life over the last 12 years with Parkinson's.

Bill developed Parkinson's in 2012 at 63 years of age, just before his retirement and shares his stories with me, on what has worked well for him in managing this condition.

In 2018, he climbed the Blencathra mountain in the Lake District with 25 of his family and friends and raised £4,500 for Parkinson's UK
