Another amazing day riding in southern Georgian Bay. In this year of COVID-19, our thanks to the 243 cyclists and 780 donors who gave $194,200 to @ParkinsonCanada and @team_dpf to help people with #Parkinsons to live well today. 📷 @thewilsonhome Donate @ raceroster.com/events/2020/2…

The first book I read after my diagnosis with Parkinson’s was @realmikefox’s “Lucky Man.” MJF, who announced his retirement from acting today and publishes another book, “No Time Like the Future,” this week, has inspired me to live fully, never to give up — and to learn guitar.

The 2020 virtual #GBB2020 Growling Beaver Brevet is underway. Athletes are riding to help raise money for @ParkinsonCanada until Oct 3 (donation link in first comment). Our launch video on Why We Ride: vimeo.com/458901509
John (@ruffoloj) has been a consistent supporter of our ride. His #domestiques cycling group was created with @TimHockey to use cycling to help others. Wishing John all the best for his recovery.
We come across people in life who are determined to make the world better. Then tragedy strikes and we lose faith to see then cut down by chance ... until they rise and show us their resilience and grace. Joining many in wishing @ruffoloj and Carryn well. theglobeandmail.com/business…

Michael and Evan starting the day with a lead out of the GBB 200. This is the friendship that ties everything together. Michael and Dede first introduced Evan to the Phinneys — and the seed was planted. And it was… instagram.com/p/B3CbOgUlkNj/…
