When it comes to raising awareness for Erdheim-Chester Disease (ECD), every mile counts—and every method of movement matters. In the 2024 ECDGA Fun Run, one incredible team reminded us all of that in the best way possible.
Meet Team Peddling Froetschers—a powerhouse duo who traded sneakers for spokes and brought an extra gear to the annual event. Choosing to bike their way through the Fun Run, they not only clocked an impressive ride but also exemplified the creative and inclusive spirit that defines our community.
The Fun Run has never been about speed or distance. It’s about showing up. It’s about movement, motivation, and memory. Whether you’re walking with friends, rolling in a wheelchair, jogging solo, or—like the Froetschers—pedaling through stunning mountain scenery, every participant moves us closer to our mission: awareness, support, education, and research for Erdheim-Chester Disease.
Team Peddling Froetschers is no stranger to the ECDGA family. Their continued dedication to raising awareness and building community embodies the hope and resilience that drive our efforts. By choosing to participate their way, they set a powerful example: that there is no “right way” to join the Fun Run—only your way.
We’re incredibly grateful to Team Peddling Froetschers for their passion, creativity, and advocacy.
As we look ahead to this year’s Fun Run, we invite everyone—patients, caregivers, families, and friends—to get involved in whatever way feels best. Whether you roll, stroll, sprint, or cycle, your participation matters. Together, we’re stronger, and together, we ride on.
