Countdown to Donating for NPC ~ Million Dollar Bike Ride on May 3rd

lNPC

Dear Families and Friends,

We're 10 days away from the Million Dollar Bike Ride where three families (Mayo, Reedy & Coppola) will ride to raise funds for NPC Research!  The University of Pennsylvania will only match $1 for $1 what is raised if the team acquires the minimum $17,500, which we are just shy of that mark by $3,275.

Let's support these families and take this amazing opportunity to not only honor all our loved ones diagnosed with Niemann-Pick Disease Type C but to make a difference in research.  A Dollar for Dollar match is within our reach!  Keep the momentum going!

Also of Note: The NNPDF is currently funding Dr. Charles Vite, who has the NPC Cat Colony at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine: http://www.nnpdf.org/npresearch_05.html

The Million Dollar Bike Ride ~ Raising Money for NPC Research

Dear Families and Friends,

Three NPC families, near the University of Pennsylvania, have joined forces to work collaboratively towards reaching the combined $17,500 goal to ensure the “$1 for $1” match for NPC Research in the Million Dollar Bike Ride.  Each family has created “Bike Teams” in honor/in memory of their loved one(S) diagnosed with Niemann-Pick Disease Type C:
  • Mayo Family: In memory of Chad Mayo (NPC Feb 2, 1974 ~ Oct 25, 2013)
  • Reedy/DiGiovanni Family: In honor of Chase DiGiovanni (NPC ~ 4 years)
  • Coppola Family: In honor of the Coppola brothers, Andrew (NPC ~ age 20 years) & David (NPC ~ age 18 years).
Visit the Upcoming Events page of the NNPDF website for links to donate to these great teams to help meet the combined $17,500 goal.  The Dollar for Dollar match is within our reach!
