We Put Our Mission Into Motion
Are you an avid runner, swimmer, or cyclist? Do you roll on wheels of any kind or are a casual walker? Whether you’re an Olympic athlete or just getting your steps in during your jog to catch the subway—you can help us create a brighter future for those facing a rare diagnosis.
What is the 10,000 Mile Challenge?
The 10,000 Mile Challenge is a dynamic, virtual fundraising and awareness event organized by Uplifting Athletes. Over a 10-day period participants of all fitness levels (from runners, swimmers, and cyclists to walkers or those using wheels) are invited to track and contribute their collective mileage toward a 10,000‑mile goal. This movement not only challenges individuals to stay active but also serves a greater purpose: raising funds and awareness in support of the rare disease community. The challenge unites participants across communities in solidarity with individuals impacted by rare diseases, helping to generate resources, shine a light on their struggles, and offer hope for the future.
