From Doctor to patient

As a GP when I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2017 at the age of 37 it was a massive shock; shattering my sense of self and my future plans.


I was fortunate to find Cure Parkinsons who provided me with the greatest treatment, hope! Through their commitment to funding research to find treatments to slow, stop or reverse this disease I have found hope, as have many others.

Having worked to support the COVID response during the pandemic, I am thrilled to now be supporting Cure Parkinsons to help assuage the impact COVID has had on their income this year. Anything you are able to donate would hugely appreciated!

I shall be cycling over 1070 miles in the next month to raise funds for more of their work; cycling from Land's End to John O Groats!

Several friends and family requested I share updates along the way... so here we are with a blog to follow me, Claire Lehman, pedalling for Parkinson's, supported by my wonderful support crew, my mother, Carole Lehman!
