You have reached the fundraising page for Sofia Izzi for the Million Dollar Bike Ride (MDBR) on June 11, 2022. The MDBR will offer both an in-person and virtual option this year, which will allow family and friends from all over the world to join together on one day for a great cause! We hope you'll considering joining us in our mission, on our journey towards HOPE.

We are extremely thankful that the Pitt Hopkins Research Foundation (PHRF) will still have the opportunity to receive up to $30,000 in matching donations to help fund crucial Pitt Hopkins research. It is especially beneficial because the University of Pennsylvania doubles every donation up to $30,000. $60,000 can fund a lot of research, will you help us fund research for a cure?

Last year, including $30,000 in matching funds that we were awarded from the UPenn Center for Orphan Disease Research, we ended up with over $78,000 for research from MDBR 2021! With those donations, we were able to fund the research of Dr. Simone Mesman at Swammerdam Institute of Life Sciences, University of Amsterdam.The Million Dollar Bike Ride raises money for rare disease research including Pitt Hopkins Syndrome! We are so fortunate to be among the elite few research foundations that have been selected to participate. It is especially beneficial because the University of Pennsylvania doubles every donation up to $30,000.00.
