Eilish said: “Over the last 12 months, things have been particularly tough at home. I was frustrated by how little understanding there is of Parkinson’s. People often misjudge my dad’s symptoms, assuming he’s drunk or not realising how difficult everyday life has become for him. Even close family members struggle to comprehend what we go through. This challenge was my way of raising awareness, sharing our story, and hopefully making people stop and listen.
“The most rewarding aspect was the number of people who reached out to me or my family after seeing my videos about the condition. I’m so grateful for the support we’ve received. It’s amazing to know that my efforts have helped people better understand Parkinson’s.” Alison Cope, Community Fundraiser for Parkinson’s UK, said: “We are so grateful to Eilish for taking on this incredible fundraiser for Parkinson’s UK.
