Celebrating LGD Awareness Day 2022!

LGDAwarenessday2022_BE

LGD Awareness Day is an opportunity for the community to celebrate this special day.  Sharing stories and building memories. We would like to shine a light on Sete, a 10-year-old diagnosed with Gorham-Stout disease from Belgium.  Sete and his family held a small family party to celebrate LGD Awareness Day. 
We hope you all had a wonderful LGD Awareness day 2022

The Million Dollar Bike Ride Experience

The Million Dollar Bike Ride (MDBR) event is a fun yet powerful movement established to raise money for rare disease research. Our community has raised and invested nearly $800,000 to fund critical CLA, GLA, and KLA research through this great event.  This year we are asking for all our friends and partners to dig deep to help us make an even greater impact for life-changing research.  Dr. Max Itkin, one of our first UPenn ODC grant recipients, wants you to understand why. 

The LGDA Europe has joined forces with LGDA USA and LMI to support Team CLA Warriors in the 2022 Million Dollar Bike Ride event.   Make a gift today in support of our team.  All gifts must be received by 28th June.
