We are up, checked out of our hotel and on the way to Chatham (about 16 miles away) by about 8am. We stop off at a local Asda supermarket to have some breakfast, and then arrive at the venue for the Parkinson’s Regeneration Training workshop in Chatham’s historic dockyard at about 9.50am. It’s a full house of about 40 delegates (people with Parkinson’s and personal trainers wishing to learn how to help people with Parkinson’s) and Karl Sterling leads the workshop, educating the personal trainers and giving people with Parkinson’s some tools for dealing with the challenges of this condition and helping to improve quality of life.
The workshop ends at a little after 4pm, and my wife and I have a farewell drink in the bar with Karl, before heading back to Southrepps (collecting the dog on the way).
