MANHATTAN - On Wednesday, four riders taking part in a cross-country bicycle ride, spreading awareness about Parkinson's Disease, spoke at Meadowlark about their trek across the U.S.
The group includes 3 members who have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, Bill Bucklew, Li Jiang and Steve Iseman. Steve's son, Jett Iseman, joined the trio in Kansas and will continue with them on their trek.
In this video, Steve Iseman recounts a portion of the journey and an encounter with a dog.
The group started in Yorkton, Virginia on May 1st and plan to arrive in San Diego, California on July 3rd.
All three riders with Parkinson's disease were diagnosed at different stages of life with the disease and hope to bring awareness, raise funds for a cure and inspire others with Parkinson's disease to find what helps them manage or reduce their symptoms.
