Mike Tindall has been named patron of The Cure Parkinson's Trust (CPT).

Tindall, who's been a supporter of the charity for many years following his father's Parkinson's diagnosis in 2003, commented 'I was so honoured and proud when CPT asked me to become patron. What they’re doing across the board, the way they’ve managed to pull the best brains in the world together to focus on one sole problem has just been astounding'.
