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.
