Take part in the Pedal for Parkinson’s event on the Isle of Wight this summer to have fun, get fit and make a difference for people with Parkinson’s.
With a choice of the 20 mile blast, 41 mile blaze or 57 mile burn routes through the Island’s beautiful countryside, there’s a distance to suit everyone.
Raise at least £100
There’s no minimum sponsorship, but each cyclist is asked to try to raise at least £100.
In doing so, you can help Parkinson’s UK reach their goal of £140,000 from the Pedal for Parkinson’s events this year.
All the money raised will be spent in the local region.
