The campaign will run from February 1 through February 28, and the goal will be for participants to walk, run, or cycle 7,000 miles during that time period. Funds raised will support NORD’s programs of advocacy, education, research, and patient services. Everyone seeking to improve the lives of rare disease patients is invited to participate and to share information about the campaign with others. More info .
