Our Unique Brain is now live! 🧠
The programme was produced by ITN Business in partnership with The Brain Charity to highlight the positive efforts being made in healthcare and science to support people living with a neurological condition.
Dave enjoys nothing more than a game of walking football. He explains how this variation of the beautiful game has helped him manage his Parkinson's and stay active.

Some really useful tips
