"In an effort to try and preserve my handwriting as long as possible, I started writing little short stories and poetry so they became Parkinson's related."
Meet Brian, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2011, and this #NationalHandwritingDay we wanted to share his story.

A huge team effort. @ATMPNewcastle @MRGNewcastle @NIHR_Newc_CRF @NIHRNewcBRC @NclCTU @dennislendrem
And none of this would be possible without the support of our long term funders @VersusArthritis and all of their supporters. Thank you. And @EU_Commission funding via IMI2
Great to see our research on the BBC and other media outlets!
This potential treatment could offer alternative options for people suffering with rheumatoid arthritis.
