I have just finished reading Shake Well Before Use a book
written by Tom Isaacs. Tom walked the coastline of Britain with and for
Parkinson’s.
I am totally in awe of his achievement he not only walked
4,500 miles climbed 3 mountains came to the end and followed that with the
London marathon, he also wrote the most riveting book I have read for a while.
He captures the ups and downs of Parkinson’s, the need for
medication and what happens when it times out. The people he met and the places
he visited come alive; I especially enjoyed the bit about Eric the pheasant.
Lincolnshire where I live got the thumbs up as a friendly place
so that endeared him to me, I’m just sorry that in 2002 when he would have
walked through my village I was unaware off it.
He has raised huge amounts of money for research and is
convinced there will be a cure, who knows I may be saying goodbye to My Mate
Parky in the not too distant future. Thanks Tom
