Author Ann Andrews
Ann Andrews is author of the book, Positively Parkinson’s, published last year in August 2011.
More than 10,000 New Zealanders have Parkinson’s disease, but many thousands more are dealing with Parkinson’s every day – relatives and friends, carers and health professionals. This event takes on an interview format with Sue Giddens from the Neurological Foundation interviewing Positively Parkinson’s author Ann Andrews followed by a public question and answer segment. Sue will talk to Ann about her Parkinson’s journey over the last 11 years that culminated in the recent publication of her much-acclaimed book Positively Parkinson’s. Ann has worked as a television and theatre producer, researcher, teacher and crisis counsellor. Diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in mid-life, Positively Parkinson’s is the book she would like to have read at that critical time.
