#RAREis™ Playlist
The story of a life impacted by rare disease and captured in song. In partnership with the Sing Me a Story Foundation, Amgen’s #RAREis Playlist is elevating the stories of children living with rare diseases by transforming them into songs. Stories written by the children themselves are delivered to professional songwriters and musicians, who tell them through song for #RAREis Playlist.
Songs on #RAREis Playlist reflect each child’s experience and support the many organizations advocating for those affected by rare disease.
Visit #RAREis Playlist to download songs and make a donation.
Donations for each download will benefit Sing Me A Story Foundation (SMAS) and the non-profit organization supporting the featured child’s rare disease community.
