When you join Pedaling for Parkinson’s, you fuel the work of Parkinson Canada by funding research, providing care, and creating resources, news, and events that transform the lives of people touched by Parkinson's. Since its inception in 2011, Pedaling for Parkinson’s has raised more than $2 million to support the Parkinson’s community.

Together, we have an immense impact on the research being done, the services being offered, and the people being supported every day.

Riders are expected to fundraise a minimum of $250 by the time of the event so register early to start your fundraising off right!
