Jane Asher: 'Jeremy Paxman could present University Challenge for longer, but he's a proud man' ⬇️ Interview with the president of Parkinson’s UK
Ms Asher lamented the lack of coverage given to, pointing out that 1 in 37 people will be diagnosed with the condition as it is the fastest-growing neurological condition in the world for which there is currently no cure. It currently affects around 145,000 people in the UK.
“But for people diagnosed with advanced form of Parkinson’s, your life sort of disappears because you can’t move and have problems with speech and end up being stuck at home or hospital where you’re looked after. People don’t see that, they’re more likely to see those people in public with a tremor and think that’s it. And of course that isn’t it at all.
Ms Asher said Paxman’s decision to pledge his brain to research was “incredibly generous” and urged others to do the same.
