The GLUT1 Deficiency Foundation, Team GLUT1, and Miles for Millie are proud to once again participate in the Million Dollar Bike Ride - an inspiring annual event hosted by Penn Medicine’s Orphan Disease Center that brings the rare disease community together to accelerate research and drive progress.

This year’s ride will take place on Saturday, June 13, 2026, in Philadelphia, with options to ride in person or participate virtually from anywhere. No matter how you join, you are part of something bigger - fueling hope and moving research forward for GLUT1 Deficiency.

While there are no matching funds this year, the opportunity to make an impact is just as powerful. Every dollar raised by Team GLUT1 will directly support critical research initiatives, helping us better understand GLUT1 Deficiency and move closer to improved treatments and outcomes for patients and families.

Over the years, this community has made an incredible difference. Through the Million Dollar Bike Ride, Team GLUT1 has helped generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in research funding - each dollar representing hope, progress, and the collective strength of this community.

There are so many ways to be part of this effort:

Make a donation to support research
Join Team GLUT1 and ride with us - virtually or in Philadelphia
Share our campaign and help us reach others who want to make a difference

Every mile ridden and every dollar raised brings us closer to a future with better treatments - and one day, a cure.

Join us. Ride with us. Support Team GLUT1.

2026 Million Dollar Bike Ride

hope in motion!
