I’ve Got 99 Problems But Parkinson’s Ain’t One | Emma Lawton | TEDxUWE

When Emma Lawton was 29 she was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. As a graphic designer, drawing is a huge part of her life, but over the past three years, the tremor in her hands has grown worse stopping her from writing, drawing and doing what she loves. In this TEDx talk, Emma speaks about how she overcomes Parkinson's through breaking the disease down into little manageable problems. Emma was diagnosed with Parkinson's when she was only 29 years old. Instead of letting it ruin her life, the graphic designer and creative director started her journey to truly inspire others. She encourages people to find their own voice through her talks, designs and a new book. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
