Rare In Common

In March 2020, after a year of battling what was assumed to be arthritis, 3-year-old Sophie Rosenberg was diagnosed with multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis (MCTO), a rare skeletal dysplasia. In spite of their initial shock, her parents Lauren and Hosea immediately tapped into their entrepreneurial roots, creating Sophie’s Neighborhood, an advocacy organization dedicated to funding research for MCTO treatments. They now find themselves in the unfamiliar world of rare disease advocacy, fighting to change their daughter’s future. And they need your help. Sophie’s Neighborhood is holding their next fundraiser on August 15, 2020.
