John Newall as a younger man with his now 15 year-old grandson

I have incredible memories of building things with my dad growing up.  A rowboat, a swingset, a seaflea, a sauna.  The list goes on...

15 years ago my dad my was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease - a crippling neurodegenerative disease.  Medication has become less effective and over time mobility and speach challenges have become more pronounced.

In an effort to do something about this I cofounded a charitable ride 8 years ago to raise money for research into PD ....and to try and find a cure. 

This year we are at it again and are trying to raise over $500,000 to fund scientific research.  100% of all funds that you commit are directed to research.  We do the work.  There is no administrative overhead.

I appreciate any support you can provide and in return, I'm going to ride until my legs feel like they are going to fall off - as are a number of other people joining us in this journey.

On behalf of my dad, and the others who suffer from PD, thank you for your support.
