A few weeks ago I saw rather coincidentally in the Sufferfest Online Forum that Evan MacDougall wants to try to complete the Sufferfest Knighthood Challenge at the very same time as myself. So I followed him on Strava and contacted him via the forum. I found it a great opportunity to motivate each other for this very hard challenge. And to
be honest, in normal life, you rarely meet so many like-minded people who are as crazy as you are to try this challenge.

From Evans Strava's comments, I had learned that his father suffers from a very rare disease (called PSP), which is somehow similar to Parkinson's disease but is less common and therefore little researched.

Evan enters his Sufferfest Knighthood Challenge to fundraise for research into this disease. I would like to support him in this endeavor.
Evan collects donations for the CUREPSP Foundation through his Facebook page. And I have created this JustGive webpage to allow even more people to donate. Hopefully, more people will be able to donate even if they don't have a FB account.

For those of you who don't know what "The Sufferfest" is about: It is an indoor cycling platform. The Sufferfest is very famous for combining really hard interval training sessions with entertainment and a pinch of black humor to push the users to their limits and beyond with its training videos. The Sufferfest Knighthood Challenge is the
ultimate indoor cycling challenge. To become a "Knight of Sufferlandria", you have to complete ten of these tough training sessions back to back, with a maximum 10-minute break in between.

On November 14th, Evan (at home in Las Vegas) and I (at home in Cologne, Germany) will tackle the ten-hour challenge. We are happy about every dollar and euro donated to CUREPSP. Every donation helps - not only to motivate the both of us but especially to further research PSP. Thanks for your support.
