When a 13-Year-Old Takes on The Fight for a Cure!
In anticipation of his bar mitzvah last November, Elliott Weiss hosted a biking event called, Double Chai 4 a Cure, to raise awareness of — and fundraise for — the APBD Research Foundation’s work on behalf of people suffering with APBD. Working together with his family, friends, and classmates, Elliott raised over $22,000 to support the cause that is near to his heart.
