Our Mission

We're excited to join Uplifting Athletes in the 2021 Reps For Rare Diseases Campaign! The Rare Disease Community is is very important to us and we're proud to use our platform at the Penn State Pro Day on March 25 to make a difference. Please support us by giving to our campaign. Every dollar counts! Thank you.

The Penn State Chapter

The Penn State Chapter is the charter Uplifting Athletes Chapter and served as the catalyst for what has become a nationwide movement. Penn State has run a Lift For Life every year since 2003. Uplifting Athletes was founded in 2003 when Scott Shirley’s father, Don, was diagnosed with Kidney Cancer and the doctors gave Mr. Shirley only six months to live. The Nittany Lion football team rallied around the idea of leveraging a summer strength and conditioning competition into a fundraising event called Lift For Life.

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far to my campaign. At pro day last week I was advised to only run routes. Next week I will be testing and I will report back here with my results. Every dollar donated goes a long way to help the Rare Disease Community! #WeTackleRare

Thank you for joining my Reps For Rare Diseases team. Not only did you give me extra motivation on Pro Day, you also helped Uplifting Athletes raise $65,000 and counting to support the 30 million Americans living with a rare disease!

Thank you so much for helping me meet my $1K goal. Just like in sports when we meet a goal I want to recognize the accomplishment and then its time to raise the bar. In this case we are raising the bar to help the Rare Disease Community. Any support is greatly appreciated as we go for $2k. I look forward to doing my part with every rep I perform at Pro Day.
