We are also speaking to organisations to have a disability category. We hope to put a team of people with Parkinson’s together to play in this category. If you know anyone who might be interested in this please let me know.

Cost is $10 per person with $5 of this going to Shake It Up Australia.

Hume City Council have come on board as a partner.

Also attending the event will be our Health partners Australian Red Cross Lifeblood, Medibank and Mental Health Foundation Australia. More of our Health partners will be confirming in the next week or so.

Walking Football 4 Health Victoria can confirm that we will be having a category for people with disability at our Parkinson’s Awareness Day social tournament on Friday 11th April.

We hope this will become a fixture at all of our tournaments including our Men’s Mental Health Week tournament in June and our National Festival of Walking Football in September.

If you know of someone with a disability would like to play, please let me know. Individual players can be put into other teams.
With our Parkinson’s Awareness Day happening in the school holidays, we are going to open a category for families to play.
This now opens the day up to all ages.
