Cycle for Parkinson’s

Join Us For Our Annual Cycle Challenge This August Our Goal Is To Pedal 25,000 Miles to improve life for all affected by Parkinson’s

Cycle for Parkinson’s is our virtual cycling challenge. We challenge our participants to cycle away from 1st 31st August while logging their progress on their personal fundraising pages.  Each participant’s miles (whether outside or on a stationary bike) will count toward the campaign goal of at least 25,000 miles during the month of August.

How does it work?

We are challenging you to cycle as many miles across the month of August and help us improve life for everyone affected by Parkinson’s.  

Set your own cycle mileage target to achieve throughout the month of August, for example 150 miles. You have total flexibility with this cycling challenge meaning you can cycle whenever suits you through the month of August. Early morning before you start your day, through the countryside over a weekend or even at night – the choice is yours!

Virtually track your progress using Strava, MapMyFitness or Fitbit and watch as you edge closer to your target and beyond, while raising much needed funds for vital services that enable people to live better for longer with Parkinson’s

Research shows that bicycling can have tremendous benefits to people with Parkinson’s, well beyond those enjoyed by all cyclists.  Vigorous cycling can sometimes reduce symptoms for hours or days afterwards. If you, or someone you know has Parkinson’s, please consider this opportunity to ride and help increase awareness of the many benefits of cycling.

All of the money raised will help fund our vital services including exercise classes, home-based Neurological Physiotherapy, home-based Occupational Therapy, Respite Care for family carers, visiting care, the Mental Health Support Hub and so much more. 

Let’s come together and see how many miles this amazing community can accumulate to improve life with Parkinson’s!
