Join us in this “water to water” ride. From the Ohio River to Lake Erie in the name of Parkinson’s Disease research.
Cycling Ohio is a week long bike ride with the goal of brining awareness to Parkinson’s Disease research. The state of Ohio has the biggest concentration of clinical sites for a Parkinson’s clinical trial that evaluates the effectiveness of exercise on patients living with the disease. This is called the SPARX3 clinical trial. The goal of Cycling Ohio is to bring connectivity between Ohio’s four regions of research and promote the possible benefits bicycle riding has to minimize the progression of Parkinson’s Disease.
