Northern Michigan University Doctor of Nursing Practice Program in conjunction with the Race for RP present: A Symposium Exploring Autoimmune Diseases. For Primary Care Physicians, ...What an incredible event and turnout yesterday for the 2019 All Clubs_LA BBQ and South Bay Cycling Awards at El Dorado Park in Long Beach, CA. We were so glad the team from ABC7 who dropped by to cover the event, and we appreciated the exposure.
It was fantastic to sponsor and be a part of this amazing day for the cycling community, and thank you to everyone who made it come together. Cycling has been and continues to be such an important part of the Race for RP - "Relapsing Polychondritis" story.
In a nod to Ferrari Challenge driver "Neilio," we certainly enjoyed having the Race for RP No. 153 Ferrari 360 Modena street car at the event. We know it's a unique conversation starter about our considerable autoimmune disease and relapsing polychondritis awareness efforts taking place on 4 wheels around the country and around the world.
Congratulations to all the participants, sponsors and families who made the day one to remember!
