This annual event is a fun and prime example of how Penn Medicine and the University of Pennsylvania give back to the community. The funding is extremely important as it provides direct care support for multiple sclerosis patients living in the Delaware Valley. The Tour also raises research dollars toward developing new and improved treatments and hopefully someday – a cure.
