To empower rare and undiagnosed patients and their families with genomic information and community through advocacy, networking and support.

To All Mothers, Fathers, & Loved Ones

I am Gina Szajnuk and I am a mother of three young children – each of whom have been diagnosed with an unknown genetic dysfunction: an autonomic neuropathy.
 
I am determined to help my children and the children of all mothers living in a diagnostic odyssey. Join me on RUN's mission to set a new standard of care for all other families by making whole genome sequencing available through insurance.
 
Together, we can help families emotionally and financially living with an undiagnosed child, or a child with a rare condition.
