Parky Profiles: Lloyd Taylor, Cyclist, Author & Campaigner for Parkinson's

This month we’re interviewing a handful of fascinating people as part of our summer ‘Parky Profiles’ series.The Parky author, adventurer and cyclist, Lloyd Taylor joins us this week to talk about the journey to writing his best-selling book 'The Kindness of Strangers'. When Lloyd was diagnosed with Parkinson's, he had trouble sharing his news with others. But then, he was invited to join a cycle ride to raise awareness for the disease, having never really been a cyclist before, which resulted in him joining a 60-day relay across Canada and talking about being a Parky every day. He writes about this adventure and what he learnt from it in his book, and gives us a taste of it all in our conversation. Movers & Shakers is brought to you in partnership with Cure Parkinson's.Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer and Sir Nicholas MostynProduced by Lulu Goad and Ewan Cameron for PodotMusic by Alex Stobbs Hosted on Acast.
