We are so excited to celebrate our 15th year! So much has happened that we need to share with you. We have reached our million dollars for research mark, are working with 7 Pharmaceutical companies going into phase 3 trials for IGAN, working closely with FDA and donated an additional $40,000 for research. Chances are if you are reading this, you were a part of making this happen.
The most exciting news is we have decided to partner with Nephcure Kidney International with intensions of a merger in the coming year! Lenny Erlanger, our CEO and my dear friend has worked with me on this much needed growth. As with any foundation in order to grow to the next level you need to rely on the experience of someone greater and Nephcure is a leader in the kidney space.
To celebrate all of these accolades we would love for you to come this year and celebrate our big 15! We have lots of fun and surprises planned for the entire family. So lace up those sneakers, bring your family, friends, dogs and beach chairs and lets make a difference in the lives of so many with kidney disease.
The 2019 Ride to Defeat ALS, which begins and ends at Morey’s Adventure Pier in Wildwood, NJ, will loop bicyclists around scenic Cape May County and pass such attractions as a WWII sunken ship, Cape May Lighthouse, and local vineyards. Families with young children can opt to ride a 10-mile loop, while more adventurous cyclists can choose a 25-, 50-, 75-, or 100-mile loop. A colorful celebration hosted by Morey’s Piers will await cyclists as they break through the finish line. Festivities will include food, music, and FREE two-day passes to Morey’s amusement piers and water parks for June 15th and 16th. Proceeds from the Ride help The ALS Association Greater Philadelphia Chapter continue its support of vital ALS research, care services, and advocacy.
