Ted Jessop of Moose FM has signed on to Pedal for Parkinson's this year.
The hitch? He doesn't know how to ride a bike! With the help of our Peter Istvan and the support of our generous sponsors at Ontario Trysport we're going to get Ted up to speed this summer with an eye toward completing the race this July.
Stay tuned to this page, and to the good people at Moose FM to learn more about his journey.
