Departing on 4 July, 21 cyclists including five people living with Parkinson's will join Mike cycling the Alps, climbing the epic Col de l’Iseran and the Cime de la Bonette - some 18,000 metres in total - raising awareness and vital funds for Cure Parkinson's research.
We fund research that
slows, stops or reverses Parkinson’s
Understanding Parkinson's
In Parkinson’s a protein called alpha-synuclein, which is abundant in nerve cells, begins clumping together (or aggregating) and it is believed that this process could be toxic. Cure Parkinson's is investigating how this and other key biochemical pathways and events contribute to the progression of Parkinson's. Thanks to our supporters, we’re funding research into the most promising therapeutic areas.

Cure Parkinson's is continually searching for ways to slow, stop or even reverse Parkinson's. That's why we're funding a sub-study within the main ADepT-PD trial to investigate whether nortriptyline can impact disease progression. This sub-study will employ wearable technology along with standard methods of clinical evaluation.
