Media profiles man raising money, awareness for Parkinson's with Gearing Up for Good
As Joe Motz prepares for his 65th birthday, he’s also gearing up for a 6,500-mile journey by bicycle to raise awareness and support for patients with Parkinson’s disease.
His goal is to raise $650,000 for the creation of treatment programs that will benefit the UC Gardner Neuroscience Institute and UC Center for Integrative Health and Wellness.
Called Gearing up for Good, Motz created the project to combine his passion for the outdoors with his desire to make an impact.
