People with Parkinson's invited to attend annual Try-Athlon event
People across York and North Yorkshire who live with Parkinson's are being invited to participate in a national sports and activities event. Sport Parkinson's will host their annual Try-Athlon event once again in 2025, aiming to encourage those with Parkinson's to "get active and challenge their bodies and minds." The event, first held in 2022, is supported by Cure Parkinson's and Parkinson's UK. The 2025 event is set to take place on Sunday, June 22 at the Twickenham Stoop, home of the Harlequins Rugby Union Team, from 10am to 4pm. Relatives, carers, friends, and children are all welcome to join in or spectate. 'Try' activities on the day will include a mix of walking sports such as netball, cricket, tennis, rugby, and football; and a mix of seated and standing activities, including shadow/non-contact boxing, golf, Nordic walking, table tennis, rowing, Pilates, singing, dancing, and static bike cycling. An 'Expert Zone' will give visitors the opportunity to meet industry professionals, including Parkinson's nurses, charity and tech company representatives, dieticians, and reflexologists. A stage in the Expert Zone will host standing and seated workouts; a karaoke band; and Parkinson's-specific dietary advice. Caroline Rassell, CEO at Parkinson's UK, said: "We have had a long and successful working relationship with Sport Parkinson's, and together with Cure Parkinson's we are delighted to be supporting the Try-Athlon again in 2025. "Being active can be one of the best ways to live well with Parkinson's and it's really exciting to see how successful the Try-Athlon has been for getting more people involved in new activities. "We hope that even more people with Parkinson's will get involved this year and we can't wait to see new faces at this year's event and share the benefits of physical activity." Helen Matthews, CEO of Cure Parkinson's, said: "We are delighted to be working with Parkinson's UK, Sport Parkinson's, and Spotlight YOPD more broadly in this way. "Exercise and engagement engenders a positivity that is so important to everybody in the Parkinson's community, and it's this same positivity that drives us to search for a cure."
