The Relapsing Polychondritis Foundation (RP Foundation) is pleased to announce the appointment of Frances “Fran” Sweeney to its Board of Directors effective December 11, 2022.
In these final weeks of 2022, as you connect with family and friends to celebrate the holiday seasons, the RP Foundation and Race for RP extend our heartfelt thanks for the partnership and support you generously share with us.
In 2022, the Relapsing Polychondritis Foundation, Race for RP, and our incredible partners helped drive RP and related autoimmune diseases to the forefront of ground-breaking scientific discoveries. We also improved patient access to specialized, multi-disciplinary teams of clinicians and fostered a greater understanding of RP among clinicians, scientists, and the broader community.
Twenty-five teams spanning the globe raised over $24,000 to fuel relapsing polychondirits (RP) research! Organizer and RP Warrior, Dan Smith, can’t wait to make it even bigger next year.
This is a very important step towards advancing global awareness and expediting the diagnosis of VEXAS and related autoimmune diseases, like relapsing polychondritis (RP).
The eRace for RP will be held on the iRacing platform on Wednesday, September 14th, 2022 at 7:30pm ET. Funds raised through the event will be used to invest in ground-breaking autoimmune disease research.
