Ride for those with Parkinson’s who can’t—and move those legs for charity because you can.

WHY WE RIDE – The Davis Phinney Foundation was founded by Olympic cyclist Davis Phinney in 2004 to help people with Parkinson’s live well today. The Foundation’s focus is to provide programs, early-stage research, and resources to help people living with Parkinson’s improve their quality of life. Parkinson’s is the number two neurodegenerative disease – second to Alzheimer’s – and affects more than one million people in the United States, and 12 Million worldwide. The number of people with Parkinson’s is skyrocketing at an alarming pace. The Foundation’s work impacts hundreds of thousands of individuals and families annually.
Your participation, donations and/or fundraising efforts help support the Foundation’s many programs. Pedaling for Parkinson’s™ is one of the Foundation’s programs which is based on research indicating that forced exercise on a bicycle can reduce symptoms of Parkinson’s. In fact, participants who ride three days a week over eight weeks have shown improvement in their Parkinson’s-related symptoms by as much as 35%. Be a Sponsor!
