Folge 31 - Special English Version - All you need is Ping Pong

„Jetzt erst recht!“ Positiv leben mit Parkinson

Welcome to my Podcast and to this special English episode. In my podcast I want to share positive stories about life with Parkinson's Disease and so I talk to many inspiring people with exciting life stories who manage to enjoy their lives – despite Parkinson's.

Usually this podcast is in German language but today there is a special episode for my English speaking friends who I had the pleasure to meet at the PingPongParkinson German Open in Nordhorn in early September this year. People from 12 nations took part in the tournament and despite Parkinson's, they were fantastic table tennis players and spread a lot of passion, joy and enthusiasm.

This episode is about PingPongParkinson - a worldwide movement that offers table tennis for people with Parkinson's disease. Playing table tennis can help improving symptoms and slow down progression. But most of all – it’s fun!

So, join me and meet some great people from all over the world who share the same dream - they all love to play table tennis.
