Each June FOP community members and advocates ride in the Penn Orphan Disease Center Million Dollar Bike Ride to raise funds for FOP research. In 2019, these riders (some in Philadelphia and some who rode virtually from their hometowns) raised more than $80.000. There were 9 applicants and we are pleased to announce the 2 awardees - Dr. Shailesh Agarwal and Dr. Jaymin Upadhyay.

Be sure to save the date for the next Million Dollar Bike Ride - June 20, 2020! If you'd like to make sure you receive information about riding in Philadelphia or riding virtually from your hometown, send an email to [email protected]. (be sure to link her email)
