Campaign idea: Jonny draws cartoons about Parkinson's

Jonny was an emergency doctor when a Parkinson's diagnosis forced him to rethink his work and find a new creative voice.

This story

Jonny worked as an emergency doctor in Leicester for years until unexplained fatigue, foot scuffing and hand tremors led to a diagnosis of Parkinson's in 2016. High-pressure shifts pushed him to step back from resuscitation to non-urgent hospital rounds and teaching medical students. He has also returned to drawing after twenty years, creating cartoons to help explain the condition to others.

What your brand could do

Provide the creative tech and art materials Jonny needs to keep drawing and sharing his cartoons.
