Here are just some of the many positive responses we have received for the book:
" I am currently reading (Shake Well Before Use) and I must say that I love it. Not because it's a charitable project but because it's pure pleasure to indulge in. .......I initially decided to start reading it to get a feel for what life is like for people affected by the disease, what I eventually found was a book describing what it is like to be a human being, no matter what situation you are in."
"You almost forget the seriousness of Tom's Parkinsons in parts of this book as he makes it such an enjoyable read. In itself, it is a remarkable achievement that someone should walk the coastline of Britain in a year, and Tom's style of writing makes the journey involving and amusing. Well worth a read to put your own problems in perspective!"
"this is a very readable story of courage and determination, humour and tears - people with Parkinson's have difficulty in walking, Tom overcame this difficulty driven by the ambition to raise money to fund research to find a cure for this debilitating disease. "
