Parky Paddlers streaming ahead!
Our team for the York Dragon Boat Races this year is making waves
Sunday 12 July in the city centre on the river
Wow, did our team make a splash!
The only team out of 36 boats that actually included people living with the condition they were raising funds for! Everyone had a fantastic day and so far the Parky Paddlers have raised a magnificent £6,300! Better even than that, they have shown what people with Parkinson's and their supporters can do.
There's still time to sponsor our fantastic team. Scan the QR code below, or go to

Team leader Geoff Roberts and boat captain Sean Sweeney assembled a fantastic team of 16 rowers plus drummer and reserves to tackle the challenge of the races on the Ouse this year.
It's the first time our branch has entered a boat in the competition. No fewer than nine of our rowers are living with Parkinson's.
