Eleanor

Hi,

I am Eleanor, one of the directors of Parkinson’s Ninja CIC. In terms of sporting prowess, sadly I can lay claim to no taekwondo belts of any colour, but I was the proud recipient of a blue ribbon for taking third place in the three-legged-race in reception year at school. More recently, I completed a C25K during lockdown with the aid of my motivational online coach Sarah Milican!  

I first met Zoltan in October 2019 after many hours desperately searching the internet to find something, anything, to help my husband, Dave, delay the relentless progression of Parkinson’s. At the time, Zoltan was running classes as part of the Rock Steady Boxing franchise and despite Dave’s initial lack of enthusiasm, I signed him up for the classes that are now such an important part of our lives. 

We love travelling, and after we retire later this year, we intend spending as much time as possible exploring the world while we are still fit and active.
