BYU Fundraising Cyclists Stop at Stanford

STANFORD, CALIFORNIA -- The five recent BYU graduates who are cycling 2,600 miles to raise funds for the study of Epidermolysis Bullosa, a rare, but fatal, skin disease. EB is an inherited disorder characterized by blistering and scarring. It affects about 50,000 in the US. Andrew Berthrong, Dan Hoopes, Jake Merback, Rocky Garff, and Joey Merback left Provo June 18th on their 2,600-mile trek, traveling north through Idaho to Vancouver, British Columbia and then down the west coast to Tijuana, Mexico. They visited Stanford Medical Center on Monday, July 23rd. So far they have raised $40,000 toward their goal of $50,00 by the end of their trip this week.
