Sport Parkinson’s caught up with all concerned to get their thoughts on the day (Claire was ensconced with the FA Cup Final by that point) See here.
“Was an inspiring session and everyone seemed to be leaving with a smile on their faces”
“Enjoyed meeting some of the players and hearing some of their stories. Steve H enjoyed meeting with people and having the chance to discuss symptoms, medication etc as can be isolating.”
A good time was had by all and Claire needed no excuse for the soundtrack!
Inspiring fun!
Walking Football Fun!
