Team Troll rides to raise awareness and funds for Parkinson's disease, led by founder Scott VanderStelt, whose father was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2010.
Team Troll always looks for new ideas and ways to raise funds for research. In Cleveland, able-bodied riders partner with Parkinson's patients and spend time cycling on stationary bikes, which provides excellent therapy. Pedaling for Parkinson's on a tandem bike is another possibility. They are also thinking about expanding to different sports.
"We won't stop there," VanderStelt said. "Our primary focus is raising awareness and funds to help support VAI's research. But it's a great way to get trained and help a patient. It's a cause bigger than us. We ride bikes as a hobby and make a difference. We're always trying to make it bigger and better."
