10 Years of PBX: Strong Together Against Parkinson's

 

On October 20, we celebrate a special milestone: the 10th anniversary of Rock Steady Parkinson Boxing Nederland (PBX). For a decade, coaches and boxers have been committed to supporting people with Parkinson's disease and improving their quality of life. We are not going to let this joyous event pass us by. That is why we are organizing a major benefit event together with the Parkinson Fund at only friends in Amsterdam, where we are raising funds for important research into Parkinson's.

 

A day full of solidarity

 

We would like to celebrate our 10th anniversary with you! Everyone involved with Parkinson's disease is very welcome - whether you are a boxer, coach, caregiver, family member or friend. Come to Only Friends in Amsterdam on October 20 for a day full of solidarity, strength and inspiration. Let's celebrate this milestone together and draw attention to the fight against Parkinson's.

 

Content of the Day: What can you expect?

We have put together an inspiring and varied program for you:

 

  • Lecture by Prof. Erik Scherder: We are pleased to announce that Professor Erik Scherder, a leading neuropsychologist, will be giving a lecture.
  • Joint Boxing Training: There will be a joint boxing training for all Parkinson's boxers, coaches and interested parties. This will be a powerful experience where everyone will have the opportunity to experience the PBX training and train together with others.
  • Stalls and Information Stands: Throughout the day there will be various stalls with information on Parkinson's, nutrition, sports equipment and more. This is a great opportunity to gain new insights and network with others in the community.
  • Lunch and Networking: There will also be time to talk to each other, share experiences and enjoy a joint lunch.

 National Benefit Parkinson Boxing Challenge

During the joint boxing training, we will organize a special, national PBX Boxing Challenge that will be performed simultaneously by all participants. This will be a unique moment where Parkinson boxers, coaches, and everyone involved in the fight against Parkinson's will come together to make a powerful statement.

 

Fundraising: Together for a better future.

In addition to celebrating our 10th anniversary, this event has an even more important goal: raising funds for Parkinson's research. We are joining forces with the Parkinson Fund to raise money for innovative studies that increase our understanding of the disease and bring us closer to effective treatments.

 

Every contribution, large or small, brings us one step closer.
