KEEP HOPE ALIVE - Meet Tom Isaacs, legendary Parkinson´s disease patient and incurable optimist.

http://www.livshygiene.no/?p=342 This is one piece I have been wanting to share for a long time. Meet the late Tom Isaacs, a hard working visionary, a ground breaking activist and a wonderful person, severely affected by Parkinson's Disease.This interview with the Co-founder of The Cure Parkinson`s Trust is the fourth and last submission to the World Parkinson Congress 2019 Video Competition by Norwegian filmmaker and parkinson patient Anders M. Leines. "When I met Tom Isaacs in Stockholm in 2012 he was already my idol due to his achievements as a person with Parkinson building the foundation for patient centered research and care. He, Sara Riggare and Jon Stamford together with Toms wife Lyndsey and others attended "Scandmodis 2012" to promote their new initiative "Parkinsons Movement". My role was to make sure we came home with high quality interviews with the researchers that we could share with the growing community, while at the same time introduce ourselves as informed and engaged patients vs the professionals. Fortunately I was able to spend valuable time with Tom who generously shared from his experience of life with Parkinson's. Tom died on May 31st 2017. Parkinson's changed the direction of my life. Tom changed it again. I will always remember you.
