The DPF signature ride, Colorado Cyclist Copper Triangle, which took place in August, was a resounding success. Three thousand riders enjoyed a beautiful ride in the rockies, and as a group raised over $70,000 for the DPF. We had many star fundraisers in this group, among them was Cheryle Brandsma, who not only raised over $16,000 but finished the whole 90 miles! Way to go Cheryle! Our top fundraisers from Copper in addition to Cheryle include: Brandon Halcott, Ray Anderson, Joe Goulet and Bruce Kapsten. Thank you so much for your efforts!

Kelly Jablonski of the Just Giver group in Canada rode 850 kilometers and raised over $65,000 for Parkinson's research, with a portion of the proceeds going to the DPF. Thank you Kelly!

Doug Bahniuk finished his cross-country journey this summer by riding 1700 miles from Denver to St. Louis and then Cleveland to Boston. With the help of his sister, Joy, he raised over $5,700 for the DPF.

Davis was recently given the Live Positively award by Coca Cola at the Beijing games.

"Through our Live Positively award, Coca Cola is recognizing and celebrating a unique group of people who live out the positive ideals of the Olympics in their everyday lives. No one has been more proactive or prolific in stating a positive viewpoint than Davis Phinney, whether through his own personal battle with Parkinson's; through his optimism, or through his foundation and its simple, positive mission: to improve the lives of those living with Parkinson's disease." Davis is very honored to have received this award.
