Morgan Kittilsen from Skien has had Parkinson’s disease for two years.

Telemark Parkinson’s Association is now taking the lead in the effort to focus on GåFotball/Walking Football  as a positive activity for people with Parkinson’s.

We have been with the Telemark Football Circle and put a spotlight on GåFotball/Walking Football  and the establishment of this in Telemark.

At the weekend, a show cup was played to introduce GåFotball/Walking Football , as a good arena in the local clubs for us with the Parkinson’s diagnosis, says Morgan. He hopes the announcement in Varden, and a planned feature on NRK Norge Rundt in December, will boost interest in GåFotball/Walking Football  and the Parkinson’s national football team.

Morgan Kittilsen fra Skien har hatt Parkinsons sykdom i to år.

Telemark Parkinsonforening går nå foran i arbeidet med å sette fokus på GåFotball som en positiv aktivitet for personer med parkinson.

Vi har vært med Telemark Fotballkrets og satt lys på GåFotball og etablering av dette i Telemark.

I helgen ble det spilt en show-cup for å introdusere GåFotball, som en god arena i de lokale klubbene for oss med parkinsondiagnosen, forteller Morgan. Han håper oppslaget i Varden , og et planlagt innslag på NRK Norge Rundt i desember, vil skyte fart i interessen for GåFotball og parkinsonlandslaget i fotball.
