The work a Parry Sound man has done to raise money for Parkinson’s disease has resulted in national recognition. Peter Istvan has been given the Cash, Sweat and Tears Award for being the top volunteer fundraiser nationally. Istvan co-founded Pedaling for Parkinson’s six years ago and each year the summer riding event has grown. To date the three-day bike ride has raised more than $700,000 for Parkinson’s Canada. Istvan recruits the riders and volunteers, looks for sponsors and collects the donations.
