Another amazing day at Parkinson's UK ! What an incredible conference — bringing together professionals and people living with Parkinson’s in such a positive, inspiring way. Thoughtfully organised and full of energy throughout.
I was truly honoured (and delighted!) to have been nominated for a Community Award this year — and even more thrilled to share this recognition with my wonderful colleague and friend, Bhanu Ramaswamy, who continues to inspire so many of us. 💙

Thank you England Boxing. It's been an absolute pleasure to work with you and Parkinson's UK on the development of the 'Coaching People with Parkinson's' course. And it's fantastic to see so many great coaches and people with Parkinson's now benefitting from this.

And another big thank you to Combat Sports Centre, who have been so welcoming and supportive of our own Parkinson's boxing community for the last 7 years 💙
