This Saturday in Agaete, a meeting took place for people with Parkinson’s and their families, organized by the associations PEPITA – Platform for Early-Onset Parkinson’s Patients and Friends (Gran Canaria and Tenerife), Fuerte es la Vida Parkinson No Limits (Fuerteventura), and the Parkinson’s Association Siglo XXII (Gran Canaria).
On behalf of the Fuerteventura-based association, two specialized workshops were delivered:
- Psychomotricity, led by Francesca De Bartolomeis, and Qi Gong, led by Sabine Tukovits Fischer. These activities were originally planned to take place on the beach, but due to wind and temperature conditions, they were moved to an indoor facility kindly provided by the Sports Department of the Agaete Town Hall.
- PEPITA, for its part, delivered workshops in Mindfulness, led by Enrique Domínguez Hortelano, and Tai Chi, led by Daniel Miranda.
The meeting, attended by numerous families from the Canary Islands, concluded with a lunch accompanied by music and karaoke.
The three associations would like to thank everyone who took part in this gathering, rich in meaningful experiences and valuable insights that people with Parkinson’s and their families can continue to practice at home, bringing benefits to their daily lives.
The restaurant El Cápita and the company Suepro also took part in the event.
In the spring of this newly begun year, we look forward to welcoming in Fuerteventura the entire human and professional team that makes up the Great Parkinson Family of the Canary Islands.
