Emma shares her story being diagnosed with young onset Parkinson’s Disease at only 29. Emma has made it her mission to raise awareness of Parkinson’s and fundraise for Parkinson’s UK. This journey has taken her from an unexpected diagnosis to winning awards and being featured in ‘Cosmopolitan’, where she reached out to other young  women. Through her social media campaigning, Emma has done so much to raise the profile of this condition and believes that having Parkinson’s was the making of her.    Join in the conversation using #BeingtheStory 

Emma Lawton was working as a graphic designer when she was diagnosed with Parkinson's at the age of 29. The condition rendered her unable to draw until she teamed up with Microsoft as part of a BBC documentary. Together they created a unit to wear on her wrist like a watch which balanced the tremors in her hand to enable her to draw again.Emma is now a digital strategist for Parkinson's UK, where she has been working to help create apps and devices which can help people with Parkinson's manage their condition - and not, in her words, look 'daggy': "remember you're designing for people with taste," she says.In this interview Anne Marie and Emma talk about living with a long-term physical condition and how that has informed and affected Emma's career in design and tech. They discuss exceeding others' expectations, how technology can play a role in helping people of all abilities to understand themselves and live well.Join the conversation: on Twitter, use the hashtag #womentechcharge, and join the Evening Standard Tech group on Facebook.Emma Lawton is on Twitter @Ems_Lawton, and her blog is https://www.thef---itlist.com/Anne Marie Imafidon is on twitter @aimafidon and instagram @notyouraverageAMIFollow the Evening Standard on twitter @eveningstandard and instagram @evening.standard See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In June, I will be traveling to Kyoto, Japan for the 5th World Parkinson Congress(WPC). WPC is a global Parkinson's event that opens its doors to all members of the Parkinson's community, from neurologists and researchers to those living with the disease.  Since my diagnosis in August 2017, I’ve launched the podcast When Life Gives YouParkinson’s. As an extension of that podcast, I have teamed up with the World Parkinson Coalition to help preview WPC2019.  At the congress, there will be many sessions, workshops and round tables focused on issues unique to people with Young Onset Parkinson’s Disease (YOPD). A person is typically diagnosed with Parkinson’s at the age of 60. If you are diagnosed under the age of 50, you are considered YOPD. Reports vary, but the Michael J. Fox Foundation says somewhere around 10% of Parkinson’s patients fall into this category. On the podcast, fellow YOPD patients Emma Lawton and Rebecca Miller share their experiences living with the disease and offer tips around finding happiness, parenting and working with PD. Both were diagnosed at the age of 29 and will be speaking at WPC2019. Three months after her diagnosis in 2013, Emma Lawton suddenly stopped going out and doing anything, because she didn’t know how to talk about it. “I was making my life worse by letting Parkinson's make me feel the way I was letting it feel,” said Lawton. “I was actually letting it win and it was stopping me from going out and doing stuff.”  Upon reflection, Lawton believes she gave in too easily at the beginning and now realizes she’s in control of her life, her happiness and how she deals with PD. In January, in an effort to make up for lost days of happiness, she started seeking daily adventures through her “F--- it List.” Every day of 2019, Lawton is trying a new activity. She’s already been to a gun range, learned how to arrange flowers, and was shown how to be a crime scene investigator. The adventures are documented on YouTubeand her website. “I'm kind of hoping at the end of it to have something which shows me as a person what makes me happy, but also along the route might kind of inspire others to try and take control of their own happiness. Actually having something that makes me work on my own happiness and work my own well-being is actually really important to me.” Rebecca Miller has earned her PhD, is an assistant professor in the department of psychology of Yale School of Medicine, a single mother of a Kindergartener, and trying to juggle all of that with the progressing symptoms of Parkinson’s. “I really worried that I would have to stop working and that I wouldn't be able to do my job. Ironically, it's sort of actually in some ways at least for now propelled me further in my career.” Prior to PD, Miller’s goals didn’t include working her way along the faculty tract. Now she is working towards a promotion of Associate Professor and she’s writing more than she ever has. How does she balance it all? “Oh, I think maybe the idea of a balance is a myth,” she said. “Iguess I do my best to do the juggle. So, it’s really about staying flexible, accepting help, asking for help -- that is a real challenge for me.” Miller also focuses on prioritizing activities, “I know that I may not have so much energy during the day and at certain times of day.” In those moments, Miller says there is a decision to make, “What's more important; going on my daughter's field trip or working today? And just thinking, you know what? She's never going to be in kindergarten again.” Miller, like many parents with PD, feels guilty about not being able to always do the things her daughter wants her to do. She is beginning to chat about PD with her five-year-old, but just the very basics as she tries to match the conversation with where her child is developmentally, using language she understands and reassuring her at every step of the way. Each episode of the WPC2019 Podcast, I check in with James Heron, the Executive Director of the Japanese-Canadian Cultural Centre. He teaches us words and phrases that will come in handy in Japan. This episode, Heron teaches us the phrase Nihon-go ga hanase masen, which means, “I can’t speak Japanese.”  Follow me, Larry Gifford  Twitter: @ParkinsonsPod Facebook: Facebook.com/ParkinsonsPod Instagram: @parkinsonspod For more info on the World Parkinson Congress head to www.WPC2019.org Facebook: Facebook.com/WorldPDCongress/ Twitter: @WorldPDCongress YouTube: WorldPDcongress Instagram: @worldpdcongress Thank you to: Emma Lawton.

In just a handful of episodes, PD Connect is already establishing a global reach. For our first episode, we journeyed over the wires to England to interview Emma Lawton. And now, in this latest episode, we are thrilled to connect with the Parkinson's community in Ireland to share the details of a truly groundbreaking film. Chiara Viale joins us to talk about "The New Music", a feature film about Adrian, a talented pianist struggling with young onset Parkinson's disease. Adrian's path to acceptance and joy begins when he is invited to join a punk band - a dramatic departure from his classical training.    Chiara is the writer and director of the film. For Chiara and the entire cast and crew, The New Music is truly a passion project. Many of the volunteers involved in making the film have donated their personal funds to bring it to life. Please listen to our interview with Chiara to learn how the idea for The New Music began with a story about a musician and evolved into so much more.   You can see the trailer for the film and behind the scenes footage on the film's Facebook page and YouTube channel. The production team has also lauched a crowd-funding campaign to help fund editing, sound, music, marketing and festival entries. Please consider making a donation to help bring this amazing film to the screen. 20% of money raised from the fundraising campaign will go directly to Young Parkinson's Ireland, as well as all profits from the film.   

Parkinson's Disease is not something one usually associates with young women coming into their prime. But that was the story for 29 year old design wizard, Emma Lawton. Now 5 years into her diagnosis, she hasn't taken it sitting down. Having just completed a 365 video-a-day project (available on her YouTube channel), Ems has just launched a crowd funding campaign over at threesixfives.com, aimed at building a community for people with long term health issues. She's also done a bunch of amazing Ted talks, and recently picked up stand up comedy. Somewhere she found the time to join me in the chat cave to talk about it all.
