2025 Million Dollar Bike Ride
MDBR
We’re already looking forward to the 2025 bike ride and the incredible opportunities it brings to unite our community and advance research through the support of our NEW Scientific Advisory Board!
Here’s something exciting: researchers studying Lesch Nyhan disease can apply for our RFA grant. Love Never Sinks, with the guidance of a dedicated group of doctors on our Scientific Advisory Board, carefully reviews and assesses the applications to ensure they align with our mission. It’s inspiring to see how every dollar we raise can make a meaningful impact in advancing critical research. Let’s keep making a difference together!
In 2022, the Love Never Sinks Team successfully raised $85,779, which was generously donated to Jasper Visser in the Netherlands @Radboud University for a dopamine study.
In 2023, the Love Never Sinks Team proudly raised $66,740 to support Sharon Kolk in the Netherlands. The funds were allocated to Radboud University for a study titled "Unraveling the HGPRT functioning in fore- and midbrain development using brain organoids.”
In 2024, at the Million Dollar Bike Ride we successfully raised an impressive $57,332. We're eagerly awaiting the announcement of the researcher who will be awarded this significant grant to further their research on Lesch-Nyhan Disease.
The funds raised during the Million Dollar Bike Ride are available to any researcher worldwide studying Lesch-Nyhan. Simultaneously, Love Never Sinks – Lesch-Nyhan participates in the Million Dollar Bike Ride to represent families living with Lesch-Nyhan. At our booth, we share information, engage with other nonprofits and rare disease organizations, and advocate for treatments. Our goal is to give a voice to those affected by Lesch-Nyhan, foster community among families, and share experiences.
