World Parkinson's Day - Charlie's story

Morecambe Football Club Director, Charlie Appleyard, lives with Parkinson’s, after being diagnosed with condition in 2016.

Despite the challenges he faces on a daily basis, Charlie combines being the Managing Director and Co-founder of his company, Annapurna Recruitment, with being a director and sponsor of the Shrimps, and a busy family life.

Earlier in the season, we caught up with Charlie to find out more about his inspirational story.

World Parkinson’s Day takes place on 11th April every year to raise awareness of Parkinson's.

Not enough people understand what it’s like to live with Parkinson’s. They don’t know it’s a serious condition. They don’t realise that treatments are limited and that there is no cure.

But if more people understand Parkinson’s, the more people can fundraise, can fight for fair benefits, can support their local communities, and, ultimately, can get us closer to that cure.
