Biking America for Parkinsons
Tax deductible
Hello Everyone,
Thank you for visiting my GoFundMe page. The reason behind starting this page is quite personal to me as well as my family. For those of you who do know, my Grandfather was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease about six years ago. After my Grandfather's diagnosis, he decided he would not let this horrible disease dictate his life.
He was determined to continue enjoying the things he loved such as skiing, golf, and biking to name a few. Eventually, complications from Parkinson’s took his life. Witnessing his strength in the face of this terrifying disease has inspired me to ride my bike across the country not just for his memory, but for others who deal with the effects of Parkinson's disease today.
Sadly, he will not be there to see me cross the finish line on the Santa Monica Pier, but his memory endures through this cross-country trek in honor of him.
Thank you very much for considering a donation. All of the proceeds from this page will go directly to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's research. There is no known cure for Parkinson’s disease but, through your support of The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF), you can help change this. I’m one of thousands of people around the globe who are turning their passions into MJFF fundraisers to help them create a cure for Parkinson’s.
