Set up by a group of parents whose children have NEHI. NEHI UK are pleased to support NEHI Research Foundation. Our aim is to support research by fundraising and raising awareness of this rare condition.
NEHI Research Foundation is excited to announce that it has been selected to participate in Penn Orphan Disease Center’s 7th Annual Million Dollar Bike Ride taking place on June 13th, 2020! This is an incredible opportunity for the foundation and its community to raise awareness and fund meaningful research. Learn more about the event at: www.milliondollarbikeride.org
What is it?
This will be the Penn Orphan Disease Center’s (ODC) 7th Annual Million Dollar Bike Ride. While the ODC is dedicated year-round to supporting rare disease this is a once a year opportunity for rare disease groups to work directly with them on their mission. The event normally takes place in Philadelphia, PA but due to the COVID-19 pandemic they will be conducting the event as a virtual ride. Riders will ride in their own communities on Saturday, June 13th to support their respective rare disease groups!
Why is it important?
As a selected foundation not only will we get to ride in the race and raise awareness for NEHI we will get to partner with the ODC to put out a pilot grant. The ODC will match up to $30,000 for each individual team participating. Not only that, they put out the call for applications internationally then use their in-house scientific advisory board to award the one with the highest scientific merit. The NEHI Research Foundation will set the parameters for what we’d like to support but the ODC does all the work for us. This means that every donation that is made (up to $30,000) will be matched dollar-for-dollar and will be directed to the grant to be issued by Million Dollar Bike Ride. Help support NEHI Research Foundation today and have your contribution go twice as far!
