00:00 Now you had a diagnosis at a very young age. How old were you?

00:05 46.

00:06 And how did you first know that something wasn't quite right?

00:10 When I go for a walk, my hands just wave, just wave around.

00:15 Yeah, okay. And how important do you think it is as research into Parkinson's?

00:20 Very. Well, without the research, we'll never find a cure, so it's definitely there.

00:27 That's right.

00:28 On top of the list.

00:30 And are there things that you can't do anymore that you used to like doing?

00:35 No, it just takes me a bit longer to do it.

00:38 A bit longer?

00:39 I still go fishing.

00:41 Yep.

00:42 And do my exchangements, just enjoy it.

00:46 And with the walk today, your sticks are going to help you with your mobility, aren't they?

00:50 Definitely.

00:51 Alright.

00:52 Even if I'm not getting them down on the right path.

00:55 I'm sure everyone will be patient. Will you have a good day?
