Ethan Willmert

I am Ethan Willmert and Reid holker has been my best friend for more then half my life, we meet in elementary school. He invited me over for a play date as his house and I remember it like it was yesterday, him and his dad picked me up from my house, we went to reid house and played with water balloons and had tons of fun. Since then Reid and I have been best friends, from staying up late playing video games to waking up early to go fishing, Reid and I have done it all together and will continue doing it all together. I couldn’t have a better best friend.

The Penn Medicine Orphan Disease Center hosts this event to raise money for research in rare diseases and I'm excited to participate. Please consider donating to our cause and being a part of transformative rare disease research.

In 2025, your donation will directly benefit my team's organization. Your donation not only helps further rare disease research, but also benefits patients and families in our rare disease community. The difference you can make is immeasurable. Thank you for your support!
