Because no disease is too rare
The Million Dollar Bike Ride brings over 600 cyclists and volunteers to Penn’s campus to ride either 10, 32, or 70 miles starting in the city, and ranging across the Greater Philadelphia region. In 11 years, the MDBR’s 30+ teams have raised over $22 million to fund research grants on the diseases they represent.
One in ten Americans is living with a rare disease, and over 300 million individuals are affected worldwide. Register today for the Million Dollar Bike Ride to raise much needed awareness and funding for the rare disease community!
