THANK YOU!

We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Growling Beaver! Thanks to the incredible support from our cyclists, donors, volunteers, sponsors, vendors, and speakers, we surpassed our goal of $625,000! Your generosity empowers Canadians living with Parkinson’s to live a life of possibilities.

Together, we rode with a purpose, raised awareness, and fostered a sense of community that will continue to resonate long after the event. We couldn’t have done it without you.

We look forward to seeing you at the Growling Beaver ride in 2025. Stay tuned for updates and click here to add and view photos from the event.

Your Impact

The Growling Beaver is a different type of cycling event: It’s as social as it is athletic. It was designed for cyclists by cyclists to be accessible to everyone, so there are multiple route options. New this year, we are introducing road routes. We will also continue to offer our traditional routes with a mix of tarmac and scenic country gravel roads.

The funds raised through the Growling Beaver are used to support research, provide care, and create resources, news, and events that transform the lives of people touched by Parkinson's.

More than 100,000 Canadians live with Parkinson's, a number expected to increase substantially in the coming years, with 30 Canadians diagnosed each day. At Parkinson Canada, people with Parkinson's are at the centre of everything we do. Parkinson Canada funds critical research, provides information and support, increases awareness and advocates for improved healthcare outcomes for people with Parkinson's across Canada. With the support of our sponsors, partners and the Parkinson's community, we continue to invest in research dedicated to finding a cure and improving the quality of life for all people affected by Parkinson's.
