Jules van Dongen Launches “Pedals & Points” Fundraiser for DMRF
FINAL DAYS: Two years after first experiencing symptoms and six months after being diagnosed with task-specific dystonia, professional dart player Jules van Dongen is turning passion into purpose. This spring, Jules will cycle across the U.S. — a powerful solo ride with a big mission.
The journey — called Pedals & Points 2026 — blends biking, darts, and community connection, with frequent pitstops for matches, conversations, and fundraising, and will be filmed for a documentary! The goal: $40,000 to support the DMRF.
Jules kicked off the ride on March 26 in Santa Monica, CA and will cycle 3,644 miles to finish in Yorktown, VA on June 10. If there’s a scheduled stop near you, we hope you will come out, meet Jules, and connect with other members of the dystonia community.
Learn more, see the tour stops, and make a donation to support Jules’ ride at Pedals & Points.
Whether you ride along, meet up for a dart match or conversation, or donate, you can be part of every mile.
