Community Involvement
Please check out our latest sponsorship, Mini’s Mission. At age 6, Timmy “Mini” Tyrell created Mini’s Mission to win the race against childhood cancer by raising as many charitable donations as possible after his childhood friend, Ella, was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Timmy has worked frivolously to raise donations and bring awareness to pediatric cancer through his racing.

Thank you for your gift to the University of Virginia School of Medicine. As you requested, your contribution will support the myotonic muscular dystrophy research of Dr. Mani Mahadevan.
