There are no official figures. Estimates vary but 5 to 10% of those diagnosed with PD are under the age of 50. The condition known as YOPD (Young Onset Parkinson’s Disease) has separate symptoms and rare disease status. Many will live with the condition for decades - suffering because of the condition and through side effects of the treatments currently available.
Causes maybe genetic, environmental, or a mix of factors. Its impact stretches far beyond the individual. There are no official figures, there are no official costs. If we did you may well see its impact on your tax bill. It’s something none of us can afford to ignore, and all of us are at risk of. Heather Kennedy is a young, vibrant writer, dancer and mother with Parkinson’s. How do people see her? Is it changing her as a person? What about the future?
Thank you for sharing. You captured what so many of us with PD feel.
Beautiful. Thank you, Heather, for speaking for so many of us.
This was a beautiful story about a beautiful woman with Parkinsons....
So very "relatable"-thank you, HK! We are not alone...
I met Heather Kennedy while in Parkinson's groups on fb.... see like Heather I look normal but fight this condition daily. The struggle is real. I deal and cope by doing stand-up.... you see I used to play bass and guitar... I used to draw and write songs and poetry. So difficult to focus. Love you Heather Kennedy
Heather, bold, eloquent and honest. I can relate. 2012. Thank you. T2
Oh wow, what a wonderful bit of work and so beautifully delivered.

Great video. Got something similar at my gate. Thanks for making this.
Thank you for this brutal but beautiful short film. It's difficult but knowing someone else "gets it" makes me feel a smidgen better.
Thanks for your beautiful videos!
Hello and how are you? Interesting video. We live in the state of NC and we like to dumpster dive.
A poignant and moving video. I hope that it manages to reach an audience beyond which the vast majority of awareness reaches, which is people who are already fully aware of this disease and it's impact.
Twice your age and newly diagnosed. But I'm not ready to lay down.
Heather.......so beautiful! I'm here because my younger sister newly diagnosed. She won't talk to me about it. Don't know how to help her.
This is me
This...this may be the image that cracks the mirror.
It's me bc
I understand that you were angry back then. Are you still angry? What if anything has changed since this video?
very beautiful woman, why, why, but I don't ask who to ask. My Parkinson started at the age of 45, and now at 50 they're considering DBS.
same here but a few years younger... try to keep an open a positive mind, but I know that s not easy... About DBS... I'm just osmetimes too fraid to eve nthink about it... Sendi,ng you love strength & hope.
Caroline Van den Rul thank you Very much.
This is a work of art. It is brilliant.

Quit capitalizing on death. We all have a chance.
Huh? She is very much alive and making an impact on her community. Inspiring bravery! Everyone dies, we all struggle in the journey. This is about living not death!
