Mike Tindall has opened up in depth about his father's 20 year long fight with Parkinson's Disease
Mike Tindall, the former England Rugby player and husband of Zara Tindall has opened up in depth about his father's 20 year long fight with Parkinson's Disease.
Though the news came as a surprise at the time Mike, 43, said he remained “fairly blasé about it for the next 6 or 7 years” which is something he regrets now. Mike has been married to Zara Tindall, who is the daughter of Princess Anne, since 2011. He describes his heartbreak at his dad being “in and out of a wheelchair" for the wedding and stresses the importance of keeping active if you're diagnosed saying: "lack of exercise is the biggest no-no in Parkinson’s”.
Together with his brother, Ian, Mike is very active in raising money for Parkinson's UK and he is a patron of the Cure Parkinson's Trust commenting on the available treatments: “Even if something only helps 2 out of 100 people then you’re still changing 2 per cent of people with Parkinson’s lives and surely that is worth doing”.
