Episode 18: Gary Shaughnessy / Parkinson's UK

The Inspirational Runner - This episode of ‘Run The Business’ is an inspirational conversation between Ant and the Chair of UK charity Parkinson’s UK, Gary Shaughnessy.

Gary has a strong track record of leading business around Europe, the Middle East and Africa and was once CEO at Swiss insurance company Zurich. Since being diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2015, Gary has been committed to raising awareness of the condition through fundraising challenges, including Arch to Arc, many marathons and even a couple of Guinness World Records. He is now Chair of Parkinson’s UK as well as England Athletics. 

Gary talks to Ant about how running helps him manage his symptoms of Parkinson’s, why he uses it to raise awareness of the disease through his role at the charity Parkinson’s UK and how his leadership style has changed over the years because of his running.
