We hope the advancements that happen on our campuses will impact the world, but we also want to impact our communities, too. Our San Diego team—along with our brokers at JLL—joined forces for an afternoon of service to support the RARE Science RARE bear initiative, a grassroots volunteer-driven program that makes one-of-a-kind teddy bears for children fighting rare diseases. RARE Science is a nonprofit that works with patient families and foundations to ID therapeutic solutions for kids, often through repurposing existing treatments. Our team was able to create 20 bears and are excited to send them home!

How about that it can happen at any age, to anyone or that symptoms appear differently in males versus females?

The Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA) hosted its first MG walk in Boston since the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a pleasure to volunteer, organize, and be part of it and meet the amazing people in this community. This walk was a great opportunity to connect with MG patients, caregivers, and advocates. For those who don’t know, Myasthenia Gravis is a rare autoimmune disease where autoantibodies attack different receptors in the skeletal neuromuscular junction. In short, Myasthenia Gravis patients experience rapid fatigue of muscles that affects their everyday lives. We also surpassed our $15,000 fundraising goal. These fundraisers are critical for advancing research and treatments for Myasthenia Gravis. As Kevin O’Connor, a Yale principal investigator focused on Myasthenia Gravis and rare disease research, said: “The work that MGFA does is important not only for patients but also for researchers, as it provides us with the funds needed to understand the disease and better target it for treatment.” #AWorldWithoutMG #MGStrong #Research #PatientAdvocacy
