Ian, Martin, and myself from @FightingFitFoo1 are really looking forward to the #Parkinsons #WalkingFootball festival in #Glasgow on Saturday.

We've now lost a few players for Saturday to injury, Parkinson's conditions, and family matters though

If YOU have Parkinson's and would like to join us on the day, you would be heartily welcomed.

We thank Sam and Jay from our friends @NLPD2019 and @PennineParkies for agreeing to join us, and @NeuroWFW have also proposed options too, with organiser @MRamsay89 also proposing a potential goalkeeper 🥅🧤

IF you are available, and would like to join in, please do contact me to discuss further. It's going to be a great day. With best wishes to all, Joe ⚽🙂👍
