11.01.2022 Today is World Parkinsons Day. To mark this I hosted a celebration for Carers and launched the book "Living and Caring" at the request of Parkinsons NZ (and Jud...ith Tizard who first approached me to host this important event). Wonderful to be able to recognise people living with parkinsons, their family and friends and their carers. Around 1 in 500 people in NZ live with Parkinsons. Its more prevalent amoungst older people and is the second most common age-related nerve degenerating disease. We know that it is a life altering condition and that it has huge impacts for those diagnosed as well as their loved ones. Special to have so many awesome people in attendance including my former parliamentary colleague Keith Locke and former parliamentary journalist/ correspondent John Armstrong - both of whom have Parkinsons. Special acknowledgement to the co-authors of this important book the late Ann Andrews (and her lovely husband George) and Jennifer Dann See more

04.01.2022 Jennifer Dann and Ann Andrews co-wrote "Living & Caring - A Guide for Carers and People with Parkinson's." While Ann was diagnosed with early on-set Parkinson's... in her fifties, Jennifer had experienced the perspective of the carer through her mother. In honour of World Parkinson's Day, a day devoted to building awareness around this neurological condition, the book was launched at an event held in Wellington today. https://www.parkinsons.org.nz//living-caring-parliamentary From left to right: Jennifer Dann, co-author of the book and the Minister for Social Development and Disability Issues, Carmel Sepuloni #worldparkinsonsday
