Manx charity collecting for Parkinson's Awareness week

Week of events planned

Today is World Parkinson's Day and the beginning of a national week to raise awareness of the degenerative condition.

Volunteers from Manx registered charity Parkinson's Disease Isle of Man are in Shoprite stores asking for donations.

There's also an afternoon tea and music from the Regal Singers at Braddan Church at 3pm on Sunday to help raise funds.
