DONATE TO THE CAUSE
There are many good organizations and charities across Canada that are supporting people living with Parkinson’s and their families. Most of these are regional so since we are riding for the Parkinson’s community across Canada, and we wish to encourage support for Parkinson’s related organizations in all parts of the country, we have listed a number that we are supporting and would encourage you to donate to your charity of choice.
We appreciate all contributions (and so do the organizations!) and thank you for your support.
The lead charity funding our ride is The Passion for Parkinson’s Foundation. Please donate here to fund our ride and other programs of the Passion for Parkinson’s Foundation.
Alternatively, you can help offset the cost of our ride by following the link to our GoFundMe page and making a contribution (not tax deductible).
Charities we are also riding in support of, listed by province in order of our crossing.
