Growling Beaver

The Growling Beaver Brevet is a new event in 2015 to celebrate cycling and to help people with Parkinson's to live well today.

Another amazing day riding in southern Georgian Bay. In this year of COVID-19, our thanks to the 243 cyclists and 780 donors who gave $194,200 to @ParkinsonCanada and @team_dpf to help people with #Parkinsons to live well today. 📷 @thewilsonhome Donate @ https://t.co/1r7lBx8lox

The first book I read after my diagnosis with Parkinson’s was @realmikefox’s “Lucky Man.” MJF, who announced his retirement from acting today and publishes another book, “No Time Like the Future,” this week, has inspired me to live fully, never to give up — and to learn guitar.

John (@ruffoloj) has been a consistent supporter of our ride. His #domestiques cycling group was created with @TimHockey to use cycling to help others. Wishing John all the best for his recovery.

We come across people in life who are determined to make the world better. Then tragedy strikes and we lose faith to see then cut down by chance ... until they rise and show us their resilience and grace. Joining many in wishing @ruffoloj and Carryn well. https://t.co/8H6hTDGSGz
