Rally Support For Rare Diseases
We recognize that people affected by rare diseases are fighting against a finite clock that doesn’t stop because of COVID-19. We want to let the Rare Disease Community know that we won’t stop fighting for them!
To help Uplifting Athletes continue its mission to inspire the Rare Disease Community with hope through the power of sport, we encourage everyone to join our team and sign up for the 7,000 Mile Challenge this summer.
This virtual event hosted by Uplifting Athletes on July 17-26 will help elevate the rare disease cause and bring attention to the more than 7,000 known rare diseases.
It does not matter whether you are a casual walker, an avid runner, swimmer, cyclist or roll on wheels of any kind, YOU can help make a difference wherever you are.
Track your mileage any or every day throughout the 10-day challenge and add it to the collective Uplifting Athletes total. You can also collect pledges for every mile you contribute to the challenge to support the mission of Uplifting Athletes.
The goal is to collectively track more than 7,000 miles and raise $150,000 to support Uplifting Athletes’ mission and its four programs.
