6,000 and counting!!! AMAZING!!

We are blown away with the amazing support we have received from all over the world since the start of this petition 3 months ago. Today, we have over 6,000 signatures and counting! You may have noticed that we have begun using the hashtags #rarebutnotinvisible #thethreelettersyou' llneverhearuntil-it'syou, on our social media pages. I'm sure many of you like us, had never heard of RMC until a loved one or friend was diagnosed. RMC is considered an invisible cancer- with no screening guidelines, treatments and it being so rare, most people remain undiagnosed (or misdiagnosed) until the most severe stage of cancer.... Stage 4. This invisibility has to END. It's crazy to think that 6,000 people have signed this petition and the awareness that has come from YOU sharing about RMC. We have read each and every comment, and it's obvious to us at R.MC. Inc that we, as a community are ready for a huge change. We want to share with you one of the largest accomplishments for RMC this year – and that is the formation of the RMC Alliance. A group that includes medical professionals, scientists, and us).
