Why I am fundraising for Parkinson's UK
Thank you for visiting my page. I am a boxing coach, exercise drumming instructor and a personal trainer who works with people with Parkinson's.
Exercise is the best way for a person who wants to control and slow the progression of PD.
I have no friends or family members with Parkinson's, I just genuinely want to help.
Since I started working with people who've been affected I have been inspired and dedicated to creating happier and healthier lives for everyone I see.
The time I spend with women and men who have Parkinson's is the absolute highlight of my week. They inspire me and offer hope to every mother, father, and grandparent around them, proving that the positive energy inside each person with Parkinson's can be unlocked.
Through this work, I have built meaningful relationships that go far beyond a typical boxing or drumming class. From Billy who’s 84 years old, who’s been there from day 1 to Keith who has just joined our group, it’s amazing to see a person shuffling in, quiet and low on confidence grow into someone who bounds in full of banter and happiness.
My plan for the future is to help as many people with Parkinson’s re-set their lives and embrace a positive outlook through physical activity.
I’ve never taken part in more than a spin class on a bike so 50 miles through the Trossachs should be fun!
Any donations are very much appreciated. Thank you
