WASHINGTON, DC - Fresh off the heels of their Wednesday briefing on Capitol Hill, the folks behind Hope for Gabe kicked off Ride4Gabe 2016 today in Maine. As 11-year-old Duchenne patient and all-star rare disease advocate Gabe Griffin said this week, “We must pass #CuresNow!" Learn more about Gabe’s story here.
Ride4Gabe 2016 commenced this morning at 6 a.m. in Houlton, Maine, and will stretch more 2,200 miles to Gabe’s home state of Alabama. The goal is to raise awareness for Duchenne and the #CuresNow effort. The cycling team will hit 9 states in 11 days and will be accompanied by a documentary crew as they head for Mobile, AL. The cyclists expect to ride a total of 200 miles today to Lewiston, Maine.
