About Shake Well Before Use: From Coastin' To Cure Parkinson's
Tom Isaacs was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at just 27.
Seven years later, he set out to walk the entire coastline of Britain, 4,500 miles, with his trademark humour, honesty, and an unwavering belief that something better was possible.
His journey became a story far bigger than one man and a map. It helped start a movement. And it helped to create Cure Parkinson’s, inspiring countless more lives along the way.
In this series, we follow Tom’s footsteps through his original audiobook, Shake Well Before Use - told in his own voice, one chapter at a time.
Chapter 30: London and the Millennium Bridge, 2 Miles, April
Tom is welcomed to celebrations and a celebrity appearance as he walks the final few miles through London, marking his completion of Coastin’.
Chapter 31: London Marathon, April and Epilogue (14:28)
It’s the day of the London Marathon – two days after he finished Coastin’ – and Tom wonders if he has the strength to complete the 26.2 miles, but family and friends cheer him on. A year later and Tom reflects on everything he’s achieved. He also has a special question to ask Lyndsey.
