Peloton4Parkinson\u2019s<\/a> started as a tribute to the founder\u2019s mother, who was diagnosed with Parkinson\u2019s Disease after leading a healthy and active life. Founder, Eric Tostrud, transformed the frustration and anger he felt into a movement, raising funds for the Michael J. Fox Foundation<\/a> to find a cure for the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fundraising tool to suit its growing needs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the past eight years, Peloton4Parkinson\u2019s has hosted an annual ride where supporters can join in person, biking a half day or a full day from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., or virtually where the ride is live-streamed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event started in 2016 in the founder\u2019s garage as a spin fundraiser with a few friends and has consistently outgrown its space each year since. After 2022\u2019s event, the Peloton4Parkinson\u2019s team realized they needed a more sophisticated tool to facilitate the event and year-round fundraising efforts. That\u2019s when they found GoFundMe Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peloton4Parkinson\u2019s utilized Live Events<\/a>, GoFundMe Pro’s events software, to scale its hybrid event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
