  Hi Emma,
  
  I don’t know anyone who has had Parkinson’s disease but i am really interested in brain diseases that affect old people. My gran had several strokes before she passed away. Strokes, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease all affect old people. I want to help to try and find a cure or treatment for these diseases so that other peoples grandparents don’t get them, so they can enjoy their old age
  🙂
