In 2020, my dad was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. I knew I needed to redirect the energy that was going towards worrying about his diagnosis and use it towards meaningful action, so I signed up for a spin ride at Revolution Buffalo to benefit the Parkinson's Foundation. The next year, I formed this team in my dad’s honor and recruited a few of my friends and family to ride alongside and for my dad. Each year since, our team has grown and we've out-fundraised the year prior.

As I began to recruit more of my friends to ride and fundraise in search of a cure, I learned how many people close to me are also impacted by PD. In addition to riding for my dad, Pauly Dawg's Pack also proudly rides for the following team member's loved ones:

Tommy's Dad

Nick's Dad

Derek's Grandpa and Uncle

Adri's Uncle

Rachel's Uncle

I’m so humbled by the support of this team and our networks. Thank you for rallying behind us year after year!
