Race Cars for RP!

Race for RP is Racing for Us!!

The Race for RP supports research, awareness programs, and care for those who are affected by relapsing polychondritis (“RP”) and related diseases. RP is a rare, debilitating, and in some cases fatal disease that attacks the patient’s cartilage, including in the ears, nose, joints, and upper and lower airways.  Race for RP
 

Our Relapsing Polychondritis Foundation Board Director, Carol Giordano, has a great explanation about the Race for RP group, our champions. 

"Race for RP, a separate non-profit entity, is the Foundation’s “best friend”. They are aware of our (RP Patients) needs and desires to fulfill our mission. Part of the long list of what they do for us includes being our largest donor. Their funding has been enabling us to attend conferences, educate doctors, improve our media presence and more. They’ve introduced us to the exciting world of auto racing, which is so fun to watch. Their main drivers are Kyle Marcelli, their Brand Ambassador, Jeff Westphal and Neil Langberg. But, it’s more than that. Their collaboration with us is fantastic for awareness and recognition, especially when you see the decals on cars, fire suits, hats and apparel. Not to mention hearing and seeing all of them in interviews on video and in print.

Our Foundation is proud to promote Race for RP and, in turn, very thankful that they promote and support us. Whenever you see, or read about, the great drivers and see the awesome cars, think 'there’s our best friend, and they are doing this for me and my family!'"
