Come join the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences as we raise money for neglected tropical disease (NTD) control and elimination efforts.

NTDs are a group of 13 debilitating but often ignored diseases that affect what many call the "bottom billion," or the poorest 1.4 billion people who live on this planet. These NTDs cause a huge disease burden: they disfigure, stunt growth and cognition in children, and can lead to blindness, illness, and death.
