Million Dollar Bike Ride — Team CADASIL
Every mile pedaled. Every dollar raised. Every year remembered.
Since 2019, Team CADASIL has participated in the University of Pennsylvania's Million Dollar Bike Ride — an annual cycling event that raises money for rare disease research. Each year, our riders hit the road (and the stationary bike) to fund groundbreaking CADASIL research grants. Below is our complete history.
