Yellow for Yiannis

Team Yellow for Yiannis is joining the Uplifting Athletes 10K Mile Challenge in solidarity with the entire rare disease community.

The Papazoglou family works tirelessly to advance research, raise awareness, and support families affected by IRF2BPL, an ultra rare genetic disorder. Their dedication has inspired so many, and now they're bringing that same passion to the 10K Mile Challenge.

Our team is taking on the challenge to support Uplifting Athletes in its mission to fund rare disease research and build a supportive community for everyone impacted by rare diseases, today, tomorrow, and in the future.

Did you know that 1 in 10 Americans is living with a rare disease, and that all childhood cancers are considered rare diseases? Together, we can help create hope for millions of individuals and families navigating these diagnoses.

Every mile we walk, run, bike, swim, paddle, or move is a reminder that no family should face a rare disease alone. Every dollar raised by Team Yellow for Yiannis through the 10K Mile Challenge supports Uplifting Athletes' work to accelerate research, raise awareness, and create meaningful experiences that connect and uplift the rare disease community.
