Hi, I am Margaret Chorley, I was born in Sheffield in 1945 9th child of 10. My father fought in Dun Kirk and by the time I was born he was too ill to keep a job for long , which meant a lot of poverty was experienced. This is the background that has made me strong and I like to use my strength to engage in challenges that are worthwhile and beneficial to people who are in vulnerable positions. I have been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease at the age of 70 and I have taken on the role of eye opening. My new family of Parkies ( a fond nick name used ) disacribe ourselves as warriors of PD , we do not like to be seen as victims of PD Please read the poems and enjoy and please feel free to contact me with any question or comments: parkiebooks@outlook .com
