Walking Football

from Movers and Shakers: a podcast about life with Parkinson's

The Movers & Shakers are back in the pub to talk walking football. We're big fans of activities that help slow down the progression of Parkinson's Disease, particularly walking football; it may even rival ping pong (but not according to Gillian!). We didn't have a kick about in situ but we had some experts in to tell us all about it - and Rory went to his local club to give us a taste of the real thing. With us are the facilitators of the Parkinson’s Pioneers Women’s Walking Football Community, Annie Booth and Gemma Darvill, as well as member of the Whittington Health NHS Trust-Arsenal walking football programme, Jeremy Munday. If our guests don't inspire you to get moving, we don't know what will!Movers & Shakers is brought to you in partnership with Cure Parkinson's.Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Sir Nicholas Mostyn and Jeremy Paxman.Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.Associate Producer: Lulu Goad & Ewan CameronMusic by Alex Stobbs Hosted on Acast.
