One of the leading voices in this field is dietitian Richelle Flanagan, whose work has helped transform how nutrition is viewed in Parkinson's care. We’ve been lucky enough to have Richelle speak at our last two Try-Athlons and she is a firm favourite for attendees in listening to her findings.

At Sport Parkinson's, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to enjoy sport and physical activity, regardless of their age, ability or diagnosis. For people living with Parkinson's, exercise isn't simply about keeping fit, it's one of the most effective ways to help manage symptoms, maintain independence, improve mental wellbeing and stay connected with others.

Ten years sincse diagnosis, Sport Parkinson's Director, Hamish Turnbull is still actively encouraging anybody who will listen, to keep active, keep challenging themselves and live life to the full.
