Multiple Zwift teams support Parkinson’s Disease research while providing a home for those with Parkinson’s or anyone supporting a person with Parkinson’s. Three of those teams (PD Avengers, Zwifters Against Parkinsons (ZWAP), and the Parkinsons Exercise Group on Zwift (PEGZ)) are collaborating to hold a World Parkinson’s Day Fun Ride on April 11th.
Event Details
The ride is scheduled for 3pm UTC/11am EDT/8am PDT on April 11th, which is World Parkinson’s Day. It will be held on one lap of Watopia’s “The Magnificent 8” for a total ride length of 28.8km with 131m of elevation.

The event description says:
Parkinson’s is the world’s fastest-growing neurological disease with no cure. The only proven method to slow disease progression is intense exercise. So please join us “Parkies” for a fun awareness ride!

Will join. This event needs a jersey! @Eric Schlange could you with your awesome connections make it happen? =)
This hopefully will be the ‘inaugural’ Parkinson’s Zwift Ride
I’ll be back regardless of what PD does to me in the meantime.
