Pedaling for Parkinson\u2019s surpasses $1,000,000 raised.<\/h4>\n

In 2011, friends Peter Istvan and David Newall founded \u201cPedaling for Parkinson\u2019s,\u201d an annual cycling fundraising event in support of Parkinson Canada. Pedaling for Parkinson\u2019s spans three days, cyclists pedal over 100,000 strokes, one for each Canadian living with Parkinson\u2019s.<\/p>\n

This year, Peter and David\u2019s event reached a significant lifetime milestone. Together with riders, volunteers, and sponsors, Pedaling for Parkinson\u2019s surpassed over $1,000,000 dollars raised. No small feat for a passion project started by the two friends. Inspired uniquely by David\u2019s father and a close friend\/neighbour of Peter\u2019s both living with Parkinson\u2019s disease. The pair in turn, have shared their inspiration in the community of people that now share in their goal to help people living with Parkinson\u2019s today and their hope for a world without it tomorrow.<\/p>\n

With a cumulative total of over $1,000,000 raised to date, these pedaling heroes have helped to fund innovative research projects by some of the brightest minds in Canadian Parkinson\u2019s disease research, through the Parkinson Canada Research Program. To date, they\u2019ve provided funds to support eight research projects within the Research Program with proceeds from this year\u2019s event allocated to new projects. Projects like those of Dr. Joel Watts, who is a recipient of a Pedaling for Parkinson\u2019s New Investigator Award. Dr. Watts is investigating how specific prion proteins may spread through the brain and he is applying this knowledge to identify the underlying molecular processes of Parkinson\u2019s disease. His work could lead to new therapeutic targets for stopping the spread of Parkinson\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n
