"For us with PD"
My name is Morten Gunvad I’m 56 years old married to the most amazing woman on earth and we have 3 children.
Since my PD diagnosis in 2012 I have promised myself not to let the disease get the best of me. Stay active and continue to strive to make a difference for myself and my fellow Parkinson’s soulmates.
​
Parkinson Padel World championship 2024 has been an idea of mine for almost 3 years now. The idea is to combine something that keeps me active and will help fight the progression of my condition which is what racket sports do.
My vision is to have an event that will expand to a biyearly championship for younger active Parkinson patients with a new country hosting every time.
Welcome to Denmark!
