PARKINSONMOVE RIDING IN HOLLAND
The story behind P4P
The Italian ParkinsOnMove foundation has previously organized successful bike rides in Italy. Pedals for Progress was born from the connection between this foundation and three Dutch Parkinson’s patients: Samantha Vizentin Brouwer, Karin Lumey and Ger Dovermann.
Together they cycled a trip of about 900 km from Ventimiglia (Italy) to Barcelona. This experience, in which movement, togetherness and mental strength were central, turned out to be so valuable that a lasting collaboration arose.
In 2024 and 2025, bike tours of about 400 km followed in different regions of Italy. In 2026, we will bring this initiative to the Netherlands.
With Pedals for Progress, we show that an active lifestyle helps to slow down the progressive nature of Parkinson’s, and that moving together literally and figuratively means progress, without limits.

ParkinsOnMove: We are not afraid
We want to share a piece of our journey with people who, like us, live with a difficult guest: Parkinson’s disease. By being part of a group, we find the strength we need to live with Parkinson’s, and the courage to shout, “WE’RE NOT AFRAID!!”
Anyone can become a member of ParkinsOnMove and help the association with the costs of managing and organizing projects. As a member, you can also help the association with carrying out initiatives to raise awareness of diseases and participate in our sports and cultural activities.
