Dup15q Alliance is thrilled to be selected as a charity organization for the 2024 Orphan Disease Center Million Dollar Bike Ride!
The Million Dollar Bike Ride raises critical funds for rare disease research. For each rare disease team that raises a minimum of $20k, the Orphan Disease Center will match it, dollar for dollar, up to $30k, to be used to support a 1-year pilot grant for new dup15q research! That’s up to $60,000 in research funds for dup15q syndrome!

How can you help?
Volunteer: We need 5 volunteers for the Day of the Event. Interested? Register HERE or Email [email protected]
Ride: We need 10 Fundraiser Riders for the Day of the event. You can ride 10, 32 or 70 miles starting in the city, and ranging across the Greater Philadelphia region.
Walk the Million Dollar Mile: Those who are not cycling are welcome to walk the Million Dollar Mile! You must be registered to participate.
Make a donation: Team Dup15q will need to raise $20,000 to get the matching funds.
