🎙️ Episode 6 is here - and it's an incredibly special one.
Parkinson's doesn't just happen to one person. It happens to a whole family. And this episode is for every partner, parent, sibling, child and friend who walks that journey alongside someone they love.
We sat down with broadcaster Jeremy Vine and his sister, Sonya - two people who know this better than most. Sonya's husband Chris was diagnosed with Parkinson's at 34, two months after their wedding. And their father also had Parkinson's. Two diagnoses. One family. An enormous amount of love, resilience, humour and wisdom.
Sonya shares what those 18 years have really looked like, the practical advice she wishes someone had given her at the start, and why every person in her situation needs a haven of their own. Jeremy is no bystander in this story - he lost his father to Parkinson's, he watches his sister every day, and he carries a quietly fierce hope that the breakthrough is coming.
This is such a fantastic conversation. We hope you enjoy. 🧡
