Former Clemson offensive lineman Taylor Hearn has chosen to make the 2018 NFL Combine a platform to inspire the Rare Disease Community with hope through the power of sport.

Hearn is doing a Reps For Rare Diseases campaign to raise money and awareness for Uplifting Athletes to support the Rare Disease Community.

Fans can pledge any amount for each bench press repetition Hearn registers at the NFL Combine by visiting his Reps For Rare Diseases site.

The proceeds from this Reps For Rare Diseases campaign support the mission of Uplifting Athletes and its charitable programs: Rare Disease Awareness, Rare Disease Research, Uplifting Experiences and Uplifting Leaders.

Hearn views Uplifting Athletes and the Clemson Chapter as an important part of his college experience, and that is why he chose to launch his Reps for Rare Diseases campaign.

“It is an honor to be able to use my platform to help raise awareness and support Uplifting Athletes and the rare disease community,” Hearn said. “What’s so special about this organization is that the proceeds not only help fund research, but also helps engage patients to inspire them with hope.”
