Today is #GivingTuesday

Celebrated globally on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, #GivingTuesday transcends borders and ideologies, to bring the entire world together in the spirit of generosity and giving.

RUN is so blessed and very thankful to our community for your continued support. Your donation would mean so much to our rare patients and their families, an estimated 350 million rare disease patients worldwide. We would also love to pave the way forward for our undiagnosed rare disease patients, an estimated 6 million in the United States alone.

Please donate $10 for the 1 in 10 rare disease patients, an estimated 350 million rare disease patients worldwide. Please donate $6 for the estimated 6 million undiagnosed rare disease patients in the United States alone. A donation of more than $10 would be greatly appreciated! Happy tears!

About #GivingTuesday

Founded by the team in the Belfer Center for Innovation & Social Impact at 92nd Street Y http://www.92Y.org, #GivingTuesday is a global giving movement that has been built by individuals, families, organizations, businesses and communities in all 50 states and in countries around the world. This year, #GivingTuesday falls on November 27. #GivingTuesday harnesses the collective power of a unique blend of partners
to transform how people think about, talk about, and participate in the giving season. It inspires people to take collective action to improve their communities, give back in better, smarter ways to the charities and causes they believe in, and help create a better world. #GivingTuesday demonstrates how every act of generosity counts, and that they mean even more when we give together.
