    Peleton4Parkinson’s (feat. Eric Tostrud)
    Apr 5 2023
    The last week in April, Eric Tostrud and ‘The Zone’ in Hudson, Wisconsin, will host the 8th annual ‘Peleton4Parkinson’s’ fundraiser. Eric started the event as a way to give back for an exercise bike he had received and as a way to honor his mother, a lifetime fitness devotee, who contracted Parkinson’s Disease late in life. The success of Peleton4Parkinson’s has seen it grow into a 501C3 nonprofit, with most of the money that is raised staying to support the fight against PD in the Hudson and River Falls areas. But, the event has also grown to become an annual contributor on the national level to the Michael J Fox Foundation who, Eric assure us, does a great job with the funds they receive.
