Hello Friends and Family,
On Saturday October 21st I’m riding in my 13th consecutive King Challenge, a 60 mile charity bike ride which benefits the newly re-branded David Krempels Brain Injury Center of Portsmouth NH and the wonderful work they do helping people living with brain injury from trauma or stroke. The King Challenge bike ride is their largest annual fundraiser and as a group we’ve ridden more than 720 miles for brain injury survivors and raised more than $1m since the first King Challenge in 2010. That’s about $1500 per mile AND how cool is that!
All donations have had a direct impact on the lives of people living with a traumatic brain injury which is even cooler!!
This year I will ride in memory of my Dad, Bob Parke who passed away now six years ago at the young age of 68. My Dad suffered a severe stroke in November 2015 and after that he was never the same person who we all loved and enjoyed being around.
My personal fundraising goal for 2023 is $2,500.00. If I reach my goal by Saturday October 21st I plan to ride to the start line of this years event to make my 2023 King Challenge an even century “100 miles”. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your continued support. Please click on the following link to donate to my fundraising effort.
I have so much to be grateful for. I'm blessed with a beautiful wife, two beautiful daughters, a loving family, good health and fitness, a great career and supporting coworkers, a growing network of friends and customers, and a growing bike collection . Thanks for reading now go outside and play!
All the best!
King Challenge 2023

The David Krempels Brain Injury Center's misson is to improve the quality of life of people living with brain injury through evidence-based programming, shared experiences, and support in a welcoming community.
