You might be a lifelong golfer. You might not have picked up a golf club for 30 years. Or you might never have played golf at all. Whichever describes you, Sport Parkinson’s Golf Academies are designed to give people living with Parkinson’s the opportunity to get back onto the golf course, improve their game, try something completely new and, perhaps most importantly, meet other people who understand the journey they are on.

On Saturday 8th August, Ciaran Booth and Lucy Pickersgill set off from Manchester on an extraordinary 16-month adventure that will see them cycle around the world, covering around 18,000 miles and raising £50,000 for Sport Parkinson’s.

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.
