We Did It!
Saturday, Sept 28th the Spinning Wheels Relay came to an end. After cycling 10,000kms across Canada – through all ten provinces plus the Yukon and NWT – cyclists who are living with Parkinson’s and their supporters ended their ride with a celebration!
Since July 27th, three teams have met with hundreds of people living with Parkinson’s across Canada. They have laughed, cried, and shared stories on how they live with their disease and embrace their diagnosis. The main objective of the ride is to physically show the benefits of exercise in alleviating and in some cases, reversing the symptoms of the disease. They have built a community of people and ultimately, shown others that they are not alone.
Thank you to one and all, it took a community behind us and around us. We look forward to sharing with you the memories we built together!
Our Commitment
A portion of the funds raised in each province will be dedicated to supporting partner charities within that province. These funds will assist in delivering programs and services to help Canadians living with Parkinson’s disease.
