Ways to Participate

Thank you to the members of our community who have already registered to participate in this year’s Million Dollar Bike Ride (MDBR). In the past few years, we have raised over $600,000 for CADASIL Research. It is the most important CADASIL fundraising event of the year. There are three main ways the CADASIL community can help!

1) Participate in Philadelphia

You can choose to create a fundraiser page and participate in-person in Philadelphia – whether as a biker, volunteer or walker (1 mile walk). We need 15 in-person participants to be invited back. 

2) Participate Virtually

Create a fundraiser page and participate virtually. There is no formal requirement to actually bike, but most participants take a short walk or bike ride with family & friends. It is a great way to use this special event as a way to fundraise for CADASIL research. If you are unable to come to Philadelphia, this is the best way to participate. 

3) Donate

If you are unable to participate in-person or fundraise virtually, you can donate! Thank you!

How to Register

1. Go to the MDBR 2025 registration site. 
2. Select how you would like to participate:
   1. “In-Person Cyclist – Fundraising Required”  – Costs $30 to register and you commit to fundraising at least $250. 
   2. “In-Person Cyclist – Fundraising Optional” – Costs $85 but there is no commitment to fundraising a certain amount. 
   3. Million Dollar Mile – If you would like to walk 1 mile on June 14, 2025. Costs $15 and it does count for in-person participation. 
   4. “Virtual Cyclist” – If you would like to participate but cannot make it to Philly. We highly encourage you to still create a fundraising page, but it is optional. 
   5. “Volunteer” – If you are able to come to Philadelphia but are unable to bike/walk, volunteering is an excellent way to participate. Team CADASIL gets credit for volunteers! 
3. Make sure to select “Team CADASIL” from the “Disease Team you are riding with” dropdown. 
4. Happy Fundraising!
