Défi Vélo Parkinson 2023

Défi Vélo Parkinson Québec 2023

Description of the event

Whether you're an avid cyclist, a weekend rider or a seasoned cyclist, you can contribute to the fundraising event. No matter what your cycling profile is, you can all contribute to the collection of donations to help Parkinson Quebec pursue its mission.

Cycling is a very appropriate activity for people living with Parkinson's disease. Indeed, adapted physical activity is a therapeutic approach that complements medication. It helps to better manage the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and to slow down its progression.

The Parkinson's Bike Challenge continues its hybrid formula, i.e. face-to-face or distance*.

*Your registration includes a jersey for the 2023 edition. For the virtual formula, the jersey will be sent to you by mail when we receive the order. For the in-person formula, you will receive it on the day of the event. However, please also bring a personal jersey.
