Million Dollar Bike Ride

The Penn Medicine Orphan Disease Center (ODC) will host the 9th Annual Million Dollar Bike Ride to raise money for rare disease research.

The Million Dollar Bike Ride (MDBR) brings over 750 cyclists and volunteers to Penn’s campus to ride either 13, 34, or 72 miles starting in the city, and ranging across the Greater Philadelphia region. In eight years, the MDBR’s 30+ teams have raised over $14 million to fund research grants on the diseases they represent. The ODC ensures that 100% of the funds raised goes towards these pilot grants, with no overhead taken out.
