Description:

Father of three, Andy Wright, stepped away from tennis for six years after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

A chance meeting with Tristan Hessing led to a community tennis project. Now, Andy is back playing.

We talk friendship, kindness, and how playing sport can have unexpected consequences.

“[You have to] find a way to manage and cope and move forward.

“I hope that's what I've done. I hope I can do it again.”
