I have had Parkinson’s disease (PD) for 22 years. I am told I have a mild case, but it is still my PD, and I live with it 24/7. It would be a gross understatement to say my life was changed forever.

For some, it might be the death of a loved one or a personal tragedy.

This is Heidi’s account of what happened, shadowed by the story of a fox who knows he'll never belong.

Viele Menschen fühlen sich im Alltag getrieben, sind unglücklich oder unzufrieden mit ihrem Leben oder mit ihrer Umwelt, werden schnell wütend, greifen andere an oder versinken in Trauer und Melancholie.
