Social Gathering at The Hodson Bay

Thank you to everyone who attended our annual social gathering this year. 

It was great to see so many smiling and enthusiastic faces, both familiar and new!

Thank you to our PD Nurse Specialists Lisa Wynne and Kathy Foley for running a nurse clinic on the Monday and to Cathy McGlynn for her enjoyable music therapy. 

On Tuesday, Lisa Wynne gave a presentation on Advanced Therapies and Parkinson’s, which was extremely informative. We were then joined by Systemic Psychotherapist Dervil O’Reilly who spoke to us about the mental health aspects of Parkinson’s. Our members then had a choice between Boxercise with Ken Fitzpatrick or Set Dancing with Pat O’Dea, both were well attended. To unwind, Theresa Kearney lead us through Yoga in the chair.

We then attended Exercise for All with Thomas McCabe from Siel Bleu on Wednesday morning before making the journey home.

Both evenings included a four course dinner with live music entertainment, thanks to Diarmuid Guinan on Monday evening and to Bernard and Patrice Coyle on Tuesday evening. We also want to thank our members, family and friends who took to the stage to sing to us on Tuesday night, making the evening that bit more special.

We also had the opportunity to hand out some of our new information leaflets. If you would like to receive any of these, please call 1800 359359 and we can post them out to you.
