The Tour isn’t just about Honor, Glory, and Victory (though it certainly is about that). It’s about raising critical funds for the Davis Phinney Foundation and their programs that help those affected by Parkinson’s. Here’s a reminder of why we Suffer, and why Every Victory Counts.

Great reminder. Thank you! I‘m excited for the tour and can‘t wait to raise some funds for DPF with our **Team Mods ‘n’ Rockers** 😀[http://dpf.convio.net/goto/SUForumMods](http://dpf.convio.net/goto/SUForumMods). (_Shameless pitch_) It‘s the thought behind the event that makes it so special… and the personal challenge, of course. ---

Just out of curiosity; is DPF only working in the US, or is it a worldwide organization? I could not find any specific information on the website (thus assuming it is US only). ---
