Meet a member of Team CHIbra: Pamela Weber-Leaf, CHI's Development Director! 🚴

Pam has done a tremendous job fundraising for our team! She shared this message with us: "I’m participating in the Million Dollar Bike Ride to raise awareness of hyperinsulinism, and to raise money for research that will help families facing the challenges of life with this rare and complex disease. Every dollar counts – so please, go the extra mile with me and support this important cause!" ⁠

You can support Pam's fundraising page at https://charity.pledgeit.org/MillionDollarBikeRide/-weber-leaf 🔗⁠

The Million Dollar Bike Ride is on June 13 in Philadelphia, PA, and for the 14th year, we are raising funds for congenital hyperinsulinism research! CHI is raising funds for crucial HI research through the Million Dollar Bike Ride: for the development of better diagnostic tests for timely HI detection, improved management tools, new treatments, and ultimately, to find a cure. ⁠
