“In isolation, change feels like a crisis. In community, change feels like a mission.” -Rare Road Foundation Co-Founder Marshal Armitage

When a child is diagnosed with a rare disease, life changes instantly. It can be overwhelming and isolating.

But it doesn’t have to be.

We bring families together to share experiences, build friendships, and find strength in one another, because community is as essential as care.

Upcoming Events

Rare Road has been such a helpful, positive, and supportive community for my family. Connecting with other families who have children with rare genetic diseases has made us feel understood and less alone. The family meet-ups and shared resources have been great for learning about local events and exchanging real-life tips around medical care and therapies. Just as meaningful are the caregiver events—giving parents a much-needed chance to step away and feel supported themselves.”​
