Congratulations to the New England Parkinson’s Ride on a wonderful and succesful event! Their ride that included loops of 100, 50, 30 and 10 miles had over 100 riders who together raised over $45,000 for Parkinson’s research! The bikers did not let the rain and wind stop them, they all made it to the end in honor of the many people living with Parkinson’s, including seven riders who have Parkinson’s and rode in the event. Special thanks to Edna and Bob Woods who organize the ride and are the key to its success.

It was a great day and made us feel like we’re really making a difference in helping find a cure for Parkinsons!

Sorry I didn’t respond sooner, but we would love to help you in any way we can. Mom (Edna) is really the the queen of our ride as she does all of the hard work. Why don’t you e-mail her directly at rnewoods@aol.com and I’ll let her know to expect it. She and Dad are on vacation now but will be home next week. Good luck with your ride!
