My Fundraiser for my friend, Karen, and for the Davis Phinney Parkinson's Foundation
I'm fundraising for my friend, Karen, and the Davis Phinney Foundation to help people with Parkinson's live well today. Your donation not only will encourage and support me, but will help expand the Davis Phinney Foundation's important work and programming.
Your donation helps support the Foundation's many programs. Pedaling for Parkinson’s™ is one of the Foundation's programs which is based on research indicating that forced exercise on a bicycle can reduce symptoms of Parkinson’s. In fact, participants who ride three days a week over eight weeks have shown improvement in their Parkinson’s-related symptoms by as much as 35%.
I will be the Captain of Team Cummings for Team DPF at the 2024 Gateway Cup Giro della Montagna Pedal in Place at the race. I raced at the Gateway for almost 20 years prior to my traumatic injury in 2019 and subsequent above-knee amputation in 2021. Winning the Masters 40+ race at the 2010 Tour de Francis Park will always be a special memory for me. While I don't know what it's like to live with Parkinson's, I do know what it's like to live with a disability. I know how important these charitable foundations can be in the support they provide - not only financial but physical and emotional as well. Please consider donating.
Thank you so much, I truly appreciate your support!
