In New Zealand, we're excited to announce "Gabby's Walk for Research", our very own fundraiser happening on the same day as the Million Dollar Bike Ride in the USA. Though separated by thousands of miles, we'll be connected in spirit with our Team Telomere community. Join us as we walk along Gabby's favorite e-bike route, uniting for a common cause. Be sure to keep up to date at Friends of Gabrielle and the official event page Gabby's Walk for Research

We are asking our community to rally their friends, family, and networks to support accelerating Telomere Biology Disorder research. By being part of our fundraiser, you will accelerate the medical and scientific community’s research in finding causes, effective treatments, and a path towards a cure.

Team Telomere’s Million Dollar Bike Ride (MDBR) Team started as Team Josh’s DCO Riders 2015, in honor of Joshua Friedman. Josh passed away in 2011 from Dyskeratosis Congenita (DC), a telomere biology disorder. Josh lived a full and beautiful life and touched many people throughout. Josh’s lasting legacy is a gift to our community as his story has helped raise over $520,000 in research.

We have partnered with Penn’s Orphan Disease Center since 2014 to excel our ability to fund quality science for Telomere Biology Disorders. Our goal this year is to raise $40,000 that will be matched dollar for dollar by the Orphan Disease Center.
