Former Northwestern standout Ifeadi Odenigbo will make the 2017 NFL Combine a platform to inspire the rare disease community with hope through the power of sport.

The defensive end is hosting a Reps For Rare Diseases campaign to raise money for life saving rare disease research with Uplifting Athletes.

Fans can pledge any amount for every repetition Odenigbo registers at the 2017 NFL Combine by visiting his fundraising site.

Odenigbo was part of a Northwestern Chapter that started tackling rare diseases in 2011 when it joined Uplifting Athletes. The college football student-athlete led chapter is one of seven chapters from the Big Ten Conference.

Being part of the Northwestern Chapter was an important part of Odenigbo college experience and is why he chose to launch his Reps For Rare Diseases campaign.

Make your pledge now to join Odenigbo in the fight against rare diseases at the NFL Combine.
