$MIRA Memecoin Raises $80 Million to Fund 4-Year-Old Mira’s Rare Brain Tumor Treatment
In a heartwarming story, four-year-old Mira, who is battling a rare brain tumor, saw the crypto community unite to launch memecoin in her honor. The token's market value rose above $80 million five hours later.
Interestingly, members of the crypto community came together to launch the MIRA meme coin on Solana's blockchain to support her treatments and research into her condition. This effort is not only a financial contribution and has become a powerful symbol of unity, which can bring the crypto world together in times of crisis.
Desperate father Siqi Chen shared the heartbreaking news about his 4-year-old daughter Mira on social media. She was diagnosed with an extremely rare and aggressive brain tumor called an adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma. Although the tumor is healthy, its location in the most important part of the brain makes treatment difficult, and the prognosis is uncertain.
However, a few minutes after its launch, a glimmer of hope and support emerged for $MIRA. Specifically, half of the total token supply was sent directly to Sikki Chen's wallet to provide critical funding for Mira's treatment. The token quickly gained momentum, and its market presence soared to impressive heights. This increase shows that meme coins can have a meaningful impact beyond speculation.
Siki has decided to sell 10% of its holdings, equivalent to 5% of the total token supply, which it has pledged to donate to the Hankinson lab at the University of Colorado. The laboratory is the only research facility in North America focused on this type of tumor.
After community feedback, Siki announced that it would sell an additional 10% of its MIRA holdings, with the proceeds re-distributed to the research lab. Sikhi added that he was planning to sell a portion of the stock every day while slowly loading up the stock without sudden price cuts. The community has overwhelmingly supported this approach.
With MIRA's market value reaching an impressive level, the community is full of optimism for future growth. The ultimate goal is to reach a market cap of $1 billion, demonstrating the community's commitment to creating meaningful change.
