Help Raymond raise money

February 28th is Rare Disease Day, the goal of which is to raise awareness and generate change for the 300 million people worldwide living with a rare disease, their families, and their care givers.  Toward this goal, I plan to run the Falmouth Road Race as a charity runner on Team Progeria Research Foundation (PRF).   

Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome is an ultra-rare, fatal, "rapid-aging" disease.  There are an estimated 200 people living with progeria worldwide.  PRF is the only non-profit organization solely dedicated to finding treatments and the cure for progeria.

I plan to promote awareness of progeria and have a little fun with numbers along the way as I fundraise.  To that end, the focus will be on the number of donors - 100 seems like an achievable metric to depict success.   This metric allows the individual donations to be small.  Say no a caramel latte at Dunks, and consider donating $7 (one dollar for each mile of the race) instead.
