Jeremy Paxman says Parkinson's 'makes you wish you weren't born' in heartbreaking admission
Former University Challenge host Jeremy Paxman has shared a heartbreaking admission about his Parkinson's disease, saying it 'makes you wish you hadn't been born'
The TV star joined fellow members of the Movers and Shakers podcast which discusses the challenges of living with the disease to mark World Parkinson's Day by presenting the Parky Charter and a petition with tens of thousands of names to Number 10. They're also advocating for enhanced all-encompassing care, which includes routine check-ins with a Parkinson's nurse, and they're pushing for the Government to up their investment in research to find a cure. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has expressed his full backing, saying he is "very supportive of the excellent work that the Movers and Shakers do and the charter will rightfully receive the attention it deserves".
