Help Fight CP!
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological condition that occurs during pregnancy or labor, or after birth, damaging the central nervous system. CP affects about 800,000 Americans. Peter Zeidner, founder of Pedal-with-Pete, was born with CP, which has limited his ability to walk, use his hands and speak. The organization’s goal is to raise funds for medical research to prevent, treat, and even cure the effects of CP. More Information about CP
Dear Friends,
This is the 16th year for Pedal-with-Pete. I am ecstatic to say that we have raised nearly a half million dollars so far for cerebral palsy research. This could not have happened without the help of the many dedicated volunteers, our wonderful sponsors, those who have donated food and door prizes, and of course, all of our riders. We ask everyone for their continued support of Pedal-with-Pete and cerebral palsy as we strive to reach 1 million dollars for cerebral palsy research. Thank you all.
Peter O. Zeidner
Founder, Pedal-with-Pete
“Ride, for Pete's Sake” is organized by the Pedal-with-Pete Foundation,a philanthropic organization dedicated to funding researchfor the prevention, treatment and cure of Cerebral Palsy. |
