Very sad news, a horrible disease that's impacted on many of our lives. (my dear old Mum had it for 19 years )

But a wonderful and brave response from Aidy

Horrible stuff at that age.

In Sweden there's a ice hockey manager, Björn Hellkvist, who has been suffering from Parkinsons since 2011 but still coach at the highest level. Shows it can sometimes be done. Hopefully this guy can keep doing what he likes despite the diagnosis.
