Try-Athlon 2026

About this episode

The episode covers the Try-Athlon event for people with Parkinson's, featuring various sports and a call for video submissions to raise awareness.

To kick off our eighth season of Movers & Shakers, we're reporting to you from this year's Try-Athlon at the Twickenham Stoop. Organised by the Sports Parkinson's team, the annual event gathers together Parkies from far and wide to partake in a range of Parkinson's-friendly sports, from golf, to walking rugby, and even ballet (which one of our team members had a crack at!). We all put our trainers on, got moving, and recounted for this episode what we got up to. And a reminder that we've launched our campaign on the voice. Please send us your videos raising your Parky voice. Find out how to submit a clip on our website moversandshakerspodcast.com or check out previous submissions on our YouTube channel www.youtube.com/@TheParkyVoice . 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 Music by Alex Stobbs. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
