Pedal fundraising hub

Where do the donations go?

All donations for our Pedal Series cycling events will fund physical activity and exercise programmes.

Being active for 2.5 hours a week can help manage Parkinson’s symptoms. As a charity, we support physical activity projects for people with Parkinson's. With your help we can continue to fund local community groups, clubs and exercise programmes across the UK.

3. Ask your employer about matched giving

Why not ask your employer if they offer matched giving? This is when they'll donate towards, or even double, your fundraising total. Some employers ask for a letter of authority in order to donate. If this is the case, please get in touch and we'll happily provide one.

Fundraising story

“When I decided to take on the London Marathon for Parkinson’s UK, I knew I wanted to raise as much as possible for the charity. I reached out to my networks online, sharing my fundraising page on Linkedin, Facebook and Instagram. When donations slowed down online, I decided to organise a book and bake sale in my office, with my colleagues kindly donating books and baking cakes for the stand.

I also organised a quiz at work which took place in a nearby pub, with all proceeds raised going to my Parkinson’s UK fundraiser. I’m delighted to say that I raised over £2000!”
