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.
