Matthew Smith lives in the Dallas / Fort Worth area along with his wife Geri. 

Matthew was diagnosed with PD in early 2025 with symptoms beginning in the prior years. 

Matthew is dialing up the miles in 2026 to take full advantage of the many benefits of high intensity exercise and endurance training.  He is inspired by many in the PD community, support organizations, volunteers, and advocates who are living the journey, pushing boundaries, and fighting every day.  

Matthew is excited to ride from Amarillo to Phoenix, joining the Route 66 team of riders from around the world as they enter the 2026 World Parkinsons Congress together!
