Jonathan White, a Cheltenham resident diagnosed with Parkinson’s three years ago, is undertaking an extraordinary cycling journey spanning over 3,300km across the United States. His mission: to raise funds for Parkinson’s UK and his local support group, while showcasing the resilience of those living with the condition. Joined by other cyclists who also have Parkinson’s, Jonathan is part of the ‘Pedal to Phoenix’ challenge, a grueling 36-day journey along the US west coast that will conclude at the World Parkinson’s Congress in Phoenix this May.
