Our Story
Rare disease patients are fighting against a finite clock that doesn’t stop because of a global pandemic. Every summer since 2003, Lift For Life brought the Penn State Community together in support of people affected by rare diseases. The annual Lift For Life was canceled this summer but we remain committed to letting the Rare Disease Community know that we won’t stop fighting for them!

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!
