“I played rugby for Selby until just shy of being 50 and have had my own gym at home for 30-odd years doing weights and cardio work most mornings'
During the formation period that led to the Goole club opening a year ago, Richard said he found that boxing could also be beneficial to his condition and hopefully to others.
“The other things that I have benefited from through boxing are that it is great for balance and coordination. With Parkinson’s your balance suffers badly. I was told at the outset of my diagnosis that people don’t die of Parkinson’s, they die with Parkinson’s because of falling and banging heads and breaking hips.”
“More importantly I would love this kind of coaching for anyone with some form of disability to be more widely known to others who have Parkinson’s or whatever they suffer from and to get the work of Goole Boxing Club better known. Richard said he’s hopeful that greater media exposure of the work being done in Goole, at St Paul’s in Hull and all around the country will help those from all walks of life.
