Garrett Taylor's Reps for Rare Diseases 2020

Due to COVID-19 and university closures, my Reps For Rare Diseases NFL Pro Day date has been cancelled.  That did not stop me from repping for rare diseases!  I recorded this video to send to all 32 NFL teams with the Rare Disease Community on my heart. Thank you to everyone that donated to show your support of the Rare Disease Community!

As I take a step toward my NFL dream, I’d like to use this opportunity to give back. I have committed my performance at the Penn State Pro Day to support Uplifting Athletes and its mission to inspire the Rare Disease Community with hope through the power of sport.

I take pride in using the platform I have been given to help others. Uplifting Athletes was an important part of my college experience. I was honored to participate in the annual Lift For Life. The lift was a unique way for our chapter to connect with and show support for local rare disease patients. I will never forget the way these events brought the Penn State Football Community together in support of this great cause.

Fans and supporters can pledge for each bench press rep I perform (my goal is 20) at the Penn State Pro Day on (TBD).

Please join my team by making a pledge today!

About Uplifting Athletes

A nonprofit organization founded in 2007, Uplifting Athletes inspires the Rare Disease Community with hope through the power of sport. A rare disease is one that affects fewer than 200,000 Americans and typically lacks financial incentive to make and market new treatments. Uplifting Athletes fulfills its mission through a unique network of college football student-athlete led chapters, Uplifting Ambassadors and Team UA participants.

Since its inception, Uplifting Athletes has raised more than $5 million to support the mission of Uplifting Athletes and its charitable programs: Rare Disease Awareness, Rare Disease Research, Uplifting Experiences and Uplifting Leaders.
