Julie Norris of Parkinson's Pioneers, Stokesley Walking Football Club and the North East Regional side (amongst other teams!) shares her journey from leaving teaching due to Parkinson's to the support she has received from the walking football community. Now a player and a coach, Julie tells WF4W about the new sense of purpose walking football has given her.

Discovering walking football after surgery only a few months ago, Lisa Shepherd has already achieved so much in the sport. From becoming a key member of Stokesley WFC to earning success at regional trials, her journey is one of determination and resilience.
