STAFF

Axi joined the Ride in 2022 as the Co-Executive Director. Formerly, Axi worked at Team Fox, the grassroots community fundraising division of The Michael J. Fox Foundation for 6 years. Axi earned a BS from Hamilton College, an MS in Nonprofit Management from Milano, The New School for Management and Urban Policy, and is certified in Organizational Development.

Axi has a family Parkinson’s connection and is dedicated to finding a cure. Axi is excited to combine her love of fundraising and all things nonprofit with her passion to better the lives of those impacted by Parkinson’s disease.

As the Executive Director, Cindy works full-time, year round, to handle the numerous details of running a 501(c)(3) and overseeing all aspects of the Ride. She considers it her personal responsibility to make everyone feel like an integral part of our extended Ride Family.

Although we now have two part-time employees, the Ride continues to rely heavily on volunteers, particularly on Ride Weekend.

Please consider volunteering your time and talent to the cause!

Our founder, Chris’s now 85 year old mom, continues to dedicate her time and be a guiding light to all of us, for nothing more than the joy of seeing her dreams of a cure becoming more of a reality every day. Although she stepped down from her position as Executive Director, she remains an active member of the Board of Directors.
