We are Rallying to Support Rare Diseases

When I was in college, I received a letter from a person who was diagnosed with a rare disease. In that letter, she described how alone she felt in her battle because there was very little known about her rare disease and there weren’t many resources available to help her.

Despite the doctors best advice to not search her diagnosis online, she did so anyway. Fortunately for her, she found a group of athletes at Penn State who dedicated a workout to raise money, and inspire hope, for people affected by rare diseases. In her letter, she said she went from feeling alone, to feeling like our entire football team was supporting her fight. This gave her hope and the strength to take on her battle. From that moment forward, I knew I wanted to do anything I could to inspire hope in others who needed it.

Hope comes in many forms and it can take a seemingly small thing to ignite it. When hope is lit, it can change someones life. That is why I am excited to participate in the 7,000 Mile Challenge presented by Sanofi Genzyme! Together we can be that spark that ingnites the hope when someone desperately needs it.
