Jason Williams

Jason is 49 and has lived with what he thought was Early Onset Parkinson’s for the past 5 years.
A few weeks ago he returned from Sydney with a new diagnosis of a rare genetic form of Parkinsonism called MULTIPLE SYSTEM ATROPHY or (MSA-P)
It is a rapid moving degenerative disease which will eventually shut down his entire body in less than 4 years! From being bed ridden with no muscle movement, no longer being able to talk, eat or breath without a machine and eventually his heart will no longer beat.
TERMINAL, NO CURE, no medication or treatments to help slow down the progression. It’s hard to think Jason was a fireman less than 2 years ago, physically and mentally fit in the prime of his life, always happy and positive ready to help anyone in need and now it’s himself who needs you! BUT Jason will never give up!!
So Jason challenged himself to endure a 1500km bike ride bringing awareness to early onset Parkinson’s and mental health.
"The 2 charities I am raising awareness for are LIVIN who support mental health and Shake It Up in support for more research into Early Onset Parkinson’s. Im usually a giver not a taker so it hard for me to ask. But every dollar raised will go into funding my journey over the last years of my life and helping support my wife and 4 daughters when I no longer can as I am our family’s soul income as my wife looks after my mum with Alzheimer’s."
Jason joiner the morning show to open up about his last 2 years in an emotional and vulnerable chat, giving us all some much needed perspective.
