I’m Proud To Rally Support For Rare Diseases
I am thrilled to be part of the 7,000 Mile Challenge this July to help Uplifting Athletes continue to support the Rare Disease Community and Tackle Rare Diseases.
Going into my final season at Baylor in 2014, I founded the Baylor University Chapter of Uplifting Athletes in honor of my friend Jacoby who is living with cerebral palsy. Each year since, the chapter has held a summer Lift for Life event to support the Rare Disease Community. Unfortunately, COVID has cancelled that event but it has also presented the opportunity for all of us to come together and support the 1 in 10 Americans living with a rare disease through the 7,000 Mile Challenge.
I will be running and/or walking two miles each day in honor of my friend Jacoby and cousin Genell who both are living with Cerebral Palsy. I will also being participating in honor of rare disease patients like myself who are living with Narcolepsy.
Wherever you are from July 17-26th you can get out and join in supporting the Rare Disease Community!
Or, you can support my campaign by pledging a dollar amount for each mile I move and help me reach my fundraising goal of $1,000!
Thank you for your support!

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!
Founded in 2007, Uplifting Athletes fulfills its mission to inspire the Rare Disease Community with hope through the power of sport with a powerful network of over 20 college football student-athlete led chapters, Uplifting Ambassadors and Team UA participants. Since its inception, Uplifting Athletes has raised more than $5 million to support the mission of Uplifting Athletes and its charitable programs: Rare Disease Awareness, Rare Disease Research, Uplifting Experiences and Uplifting Leaders
