Why are we riding?
We are riding to raise awareness of dementia. Co-founders Nick and Pierre have first hand experience with the disease. Both of Nick’s grandmothers passed away after suffering from dementia, and Nick’s father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2011 and passed away in 2022. Pierre’s mother was diagnosed in 2015 and sadly passed away in 2019. Their personal experiences, as well as those of many of their close friends, prompted the guys to use their passion for cycling to raise awareness and funds to help find a cure for the terrible disease.
