What RKW Is All About

The history of Ray Kennedy Weekend

The Ray Kennedy Weekend, an event dedicated to raising awareness and improving the quality of life for individuals living with Parkinson's Disease, traces its origins to the inaugural event held in Copenhagen in 2012. The initiative was founded by Danish physiotherapist Finn Egeberg Nielsen and Eigil Sabroe, a former football player who himself has been diagnosed with Parkinson's. Their inspirational vision aimed to create a supportive community centered around physical activity, camaraderie, and personal well-being.​
