Parkinson’s disease tournament is a success for Clacton man

Despite a tropical storm raining down before kick-off, the tournament in Tampa proved to be a huge success.

It was competed by teams from the US, Colombia and England – who were crowned the winners.

Mr Nicholls said prior to the contest, one player had not left their house for three years following their diagnosis.

“People were in tears after they finished playing because they were thinking ‘I do have a life after all’,” he added.

“Yes it is an awful disease, but we can try and slow it down.”
