Time: 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Location: Brindishe Lee Primary School, Effingham Road, SE12 8NA

Emma, a graphic designer, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at 29 but has not let that prevent her from leading an amazingly busy life as a writer, artist, comedian, blogger and model.  She shares her story on social media and campaigns to raise awareness about Parkinson’s.  She also featured in the BBC2 documentary The Big Life Fix, where Microsoft’s Haiyan Zhang created a bespoke device to allow Emma to write and draw for the first time in years:  https://www.emmalawton.co.uk/press
