Team Captain of Passionately Rare
I’m Proud To Rally Support For Rare Diseases
Who am I?
Hey everyone! I am the organizer of Team #PassionatelyRare. I am a #RareDisease patient who believes 100% in the power of community. It is why I put the team together.
Like so many others I have struggled under the weight of dealing with my condition and the strain Covid-19 has placed on my family.
I thought forming this team would be a great way for all of us in the rare and chronic community to reconnect both with each other and our allies in society. It is only through these bonds that we can grow and continue to raise awareness about our conditions.
My name is Marni. I am a wife, sister, friend, daughter and rare disease patient who suffers from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.
Thank You for seeing me!

The inaugural 7,000 Mile Challenge is a 10-day event starting July 17th that will bring focus and attention to the more than 7,000 known rare diseases. People affected by a rare disease are fighting against a finite clock that didn’t stop because of COVID-19. We’re letting the Rare Disease Community know that we won’t stop fighting for them!
