"People kept telling me to go to a support group, but I could not get them to understand that I was not ready to see how I might end up..."

Chris Salt is 56 years old and lives in Meir Park, Stoke-on-Trent. He lives with an incurable illness, Parkinson's Disease. His hobby is painting, something he only took up after his disease was diagnosed.

His story is about how lives with his progressive illness and copes with it day to day, knowing he cannot be cured. Chris talks about how, thanks to his friends and his new hobby, he is able to look at his disease in a positive way.
