A mother and daughter will be traveling to New York City this month to raise awareness about a rare disease which has touched their family. Jodi Wolfe and her mother, Karol Haring of Lake Leelanau, will be in New York Friday, Feb. 24, and Saturday, Feb. 25, in preparation for Rare Disease Day on Wednesday, Feb. 29. The group will be outside the Today Show and Good Morning America, Friday and Saturday respectively, holding up signs featuring patients ghting the rare disease and others who have been lost to the disease.

However, the growth of Facebook has helped her make contact with families throughout the U.S. facing the disease. Families of LCH (www.families of LCH.net) includes 35 families in Michigan impacted by the disease.
