The Capital Ride

Pedaling for Parkinson’s is one of Parkinson Canada’s annual fundraising events, bringing cyclists together to ride toward progress for those in Canada affected by Parkinson's.



By taking part, you help ensure no one is limited by Parkinson’s. Your support helps Parkinson Canada fund research, expand programs, and provide trusted resources that make a real difference for people in Canada with Parkinson’s and their care partners.
