On this week’s episode of Open, Emma talks to Matt Eagles. Matt was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease on his 7th birthday - a chronic and currently incurable neurological condition which usually affects people in their sixties and beyond.

Matt is a Positivity Activist. An award winning patient champion and motivator, keynote speaker and Head of Engagement with the Havas Lynx Group in Manchester. He is the host of the Birds of a Feather podcast and founder of Parkylife - a website with a mission to fight Parkinson’s with positivity.

Matt’s positivity is infectious, as is his enthusiasm for life and this conversation is honest, insightful, funny and touching in equal measure. His is a story that needs to be heard and he tells it beautifully on this episode.
