On Tuesday I visited West Kingsdown Boxing Club to join one of their sessions for Parkinson’s sufferers which take place twice a week– and it was brilliant!
The sessions receive funding assistance from England Boxing and Parkinson's UK as it has been found that being active for at least 2.5 hours a week can make symptoms easier to live with, and slow the disease’s progression .
Coach Colin Neill, and his team, are absolutely amazing and I am so full of admiration for what they have achieved.
If you, or someone you know is suffering from Parkinson’s, do consider getting involved – Colin can be contacted via Facebook https://www.facebook.com/wkdbox/?locale=en_GB
