Submitting Donations

There is a $500 fundraising minimum for all riders. This allows us to cover the cost of the event while ensuring that funds can be directed toward critical research, providing information and support, increasing awareness and advocating for improved healthcare outcomes for people with Parkinson's across Canada. If you need help with your fundraising, keep an eye out for our emails where we'll share tips & tricks to help you reach the minimum, or email us at pedaling@parkinson.ca.

If you don't meet the fundraising minimum by event day, you can still ride, but you will need to fundraise or self-pledge the balance before you will be able to register for next year's event.
