3 Minute Test to Diagnose Parkinson’s Disease
Joy Milne is known the world over as the woman who can smell Parkinson’s. PD Avengers President Larry Gifford talked with her and Professor Perdita Barron, the Director of the Michael Barber Centre for Collaborative Mass Spectrometry at The University of Manchester, who’ve been working side by side hand to nose for years identifying what exactly it is that Joy smells and if it can be used as a way to diagnose Parkinson’s.

PD AVENGERS MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
When were you/loved one first diagnosed?
My name is Rob Warner and I was diagnosed with Early Onset Parkinson’s Disease in 2007 when I was 33 years old.
Why did you want to become a PD Avenger?
I can’t remember how I came across the book “Ending Parkinson’s Disease” but after reading it I wanted to March on Washington! Non-violently of course but I didn’t know how to do it. But when listening to Larry Gifford’s podcast, “When LIfe Gives You Parkinson’s” and hearing he had started the PD Avengers I knew I wanted to be a part of such an awesome organization whose main focus is to end Parkinson’s.
