ZC4H2 Research Foundation: Hope through science

ZARD (ZC4H2 Associated Rare Disorders) is an ultra-rare condition that affects children in profound ways, from birth and throughout their whole lives.

Hope for a better quality of life for our children starts with scientific and medical research. You now have the opportunity to give hope to our children, by donating for scientific research on ZARD through our annual fundraiser, the Million Dollar Bike Ride.

The 12th Annual Million Dollar Bike Ride, hosted by the Penn Medicine's Orphan Disease Center on Saturday, June 14, 2025, is an extraordinary fundraising event, which aims to collect funds for scientific research on rare diseases.

Join the ride to change lives by donating today! Support Team ZC4H2 in the Million Dollar Bike Ride. For every donated dollar, we commit to double it, up to $15,000!

100% of the money collected will be used to fund scientific research projects on ZARD.

Thank you for giving us hope through science.
