Anonymous donor donates Solana meme coin MIRA to the Rare Disease Children's Foundation, causing a big pump in the coin

On Christmas, Siqi Chen, a Chinese-American tech company founder, launched a fundraiser on GoFundMe for his daughter's rare tumor disease, 'diamond tumor nasopharyngeal tumor,' aiming to raise $300,000 for medical research. The beneficiary of the fund is the Children's Hospital Foundation at the University of Colorado. Just before the new year, a miracle happened when an anonymous donor gave him the meme coin $Mira minted on Solana on-chain, and within hours of the news exposure, the meme coin experienced a big pump, reaching a Market Cap of nearly $18 million. Although the price has since dropped, the University of Colorado's Hansen Lab received the largest virtual coin donation in history. Diamond tumor nasopharyngeal tumor is a rare disease, affecting only two in a million people, leading to a lack of academic research funding and difficulty in raising funds for research.

Father launched a fundraising campaign for his rare disease daughter with the Colorado Children's Hospital Foundation.

Siqi Chen describes on his GoFundMe page that his daughter Mira has been diagnosed with a rare brain tumor called adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma, although it is benign, it is located in a dangerous area of the brain and may have a negative impact on his daughter's future life.

In the past few months, this father has been collaborating with Dr. Todd Hankinson from the Han Jinshan Laboratory at the University of Colorado to research drugs that can slow tumor growth. His daughter Mira is currently undergoing clinical treatment and needs to raise funds to continue her treatment and support the development of new drugs.

Anonymous donor pumps Solana $MIRA meme coin within a few hours

An anonymous person minted the meme coin $Mira on Solana on-chain, named after Siqi Chen's daughter. The anonymous person donated 50% of the minted meme coin supply to the University of Colorado's Hansen Laboratory, which specializes in researching rare tumor diseases. After the news was exposed in the father's X community, $Mira meme coin immediately experienced a big pump within a few hours. According to Coingecko data, the current market capitalization is approximately $17.31 million. This allowed the rare disease laboratory to receive the largest donation in history before the new year.

Mira meme coin cannot be immediately sold and converted into cash. A large-scale sell-off in the short term will cause the price to plummet and collapse. Siqi Chen tweeted that he will gradually sell Mira meme coin, emphasizing that he will not rug the community.

According to Siqi Chen's profile on X, he is a member of the development teams at Sandbox, Postmates, and Zynga. His four-year-old daughter has just undergone surgery and has received nearly a thousand messages of support. His GoFundMe page shows a goal of $300,000, which has not been met yet and has currently only raised 83%. However, the meme coin has achieved his mission.
