Hello March! Here are some exciting updates from Team RAWF!
It's Rare Disease Week! This week we will shine a light on the rare diseases our patient community faces, starting with craniopharyngioma - a brain tumor that is often labeled "benign," but can cause lifelong challenges with hypothalamic syndrome, obesity and endocrine issues.
We've been selected as a charity partner for the 2026 Philadelphia Marathon Series Nov 20–22 and we'd love for you to join Team RAWF!
This opportunity is open to survivors, caregivers, donors, friends, and even first-time runners — everyone is welcome.
Email us to learn more!
We need to hear from you!
We've been making progress on our Hypothalamic-Pituitary Brain Tumors Patient Registry, but we still need more caregiver voices.
Please take the time to help move us to better care and a stronger community.
