In 2017, Madonna Brady had a question. She wondered if there were any non contact boxing classes available in Brisbane, Queensland, designed specifically for people with Parkinson's Disease. There weren't.
PFU had its first mission!
Six months later non contact boxing classes
began at PCYC Lang Park.
And it turned out that what Madonna wanted, others wanted too.
Parkinson's Fighters United (PFU) is a not for profit organisation
run by people with Parkinson's for people with Parkinson's.
Ours is a simple philosophy, "if we need it, others do too!"
To people with Parkinson's, their families and carers, PFU offers:
social events
seminars
support
information sharing
creative opportunities
Parkinson's-specific boxing trainers
Parkinson's Exercise Group / Boxing
Kelvin Grove YMCA ,
11 - 11:45am every Wednesday unless notified otherwise
Deb Meade is our Trainer

PFU is humbled and very proud to have Dennis Hogan as our patron.
Despite a busy schedule Dennis endeavours to get to the PCYC boxing class (Wednesdays 11:30am) once a fortnight. He is always generous - whether he is sharing technical
boxing advice or taking participants through their paces.
Dennis was the Mastermind behind the 100 Rounds fundraiser, which we hope will become an annual event.
