Yes, it's that time of year again, and as usual, we're running again to raise funds for the Parkinson's Society in Canada.  The run is on Saturday 7 September.  As usual, I'm going to try and (slowly) run the whole 5K, avoiding being overtaken by any walkers. 

I'm lucky that, 7 years since being diagnosed, I can still plan to run 5 kilometers.  I'm definitely a little slower each year, but that's OK.  I still think it's important to keep my body (and my brain) functioning well, until there is a cure.  And I am still optimistic that research already underway will result in a cure - by which I mean a stop to the loss of my brain cells and a way to replace those I have already lost - in time to help me. It's a race against time that I intend to win.  I'll also continue to do what I can by participating in research and trials.   

Thanks for supporting us again,
