Only 5% of Rare Diseases Have Access to an FDA-Approved Treatment. I'm Lifting to Change That, But I Need Your Help!
I'm raising funds through Uplifting Athletes because I want to help people who have been impacted by rare diseases and show them they have support. At Gwynedd Mercy, I have been taught that stepping up for others are all values of service, justice, and compassion. I want to put these values into action and use a platform to create real change. My goal is to raise awareness, support research, and inspire hope that can truly make a difference in someone's life.
