Help Cure Rare Disease efforts to advance research to treat rare, genetic diseases.

Price Chopper/Market 32 and Freihofer’s will donate 10 cents to Cure Rare Disease with the purchase of specially marked Freihofer’s products.

Cure Rare Disease is a 501c3 nonprofit biotechnology organization that is pioneering the development of tailor-made medicines for children suffering from rare, genetic diseases who have no treatment or cure. Cure Rare Disease (CRD) does this through a collaboration of the leading academic research institutes, researchers and clinicians in the United States. Founded by Rich Horgan, Cure Rare Disease was born out of frustration with the lack of medical options for his own brother Terry, who was born with a muscle-wasting disease called Duchenne muscular dystrophy. People impacted by Duchenne typically live until their mid-20s and there is currently no effective treatment or cure. Moreover, over 30% of rare disease patients are children.

The Cure Rare Disease customized therapeutic approach is a new approach to treating previously untreatable rare and genetic diseases. Whereas traditional drug development treats more prevalent diseases with a one-size-fits-all approach, and has followed this approach for decades — Cure Rare Disease and collaborators develop customized medicines using the patient’s own cells to inform and guide therapeutic development. Researchers from Yale School of Medicine, Charles River Laboratories, the University of Massachusetts Medical School and several other collaborators work together and share their findings to accelerate the research from research bench to patient bedside.

The ultimate vision of Cure Rare Disease is to enable all patients, regardless of their disease, to get an effective treatment in time. We do so by working across the healthcare ecosystem with the FDA, insurance companies, researchers and clinicians so that our customized therapeutics will be covered by insurance and efficiently approved by the FDA.

What matters to you? Schools? Transportation? Hospitals?

Less than one week ago, the 2020 Census fully kicked off, and invitations continue to arrive in mailboxes across the nation. Currently, more than eleven million households have responded. America is stepping up to shape our future and ensure families and communities are counted. In support of guidance on what we can all do to help slow the spread of coronavirus, 2020 Census field operations will be suspended for two weeks until April 1, 2020. With the flexibility and support of the American people, the Census will achieve a complete and accurate count which helps guide funding decisions for things like hospitals, roads and emergency services. The public is strongly encouraged to respond to the 2020 Census online using a desktop computer, laptop, smartphone, or tablet, and can also respond by phone or mail.

1 tablespoon PICS unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tablespoon PICS honey

1 – 2 drops mint extract

Dairy Allergies?

• Replace the milk with coconut milk or your other favorite dairy alternative. Always choose based on your own dietary needs.

Wash the cauliflower and cut it into small florets and place them in a bowl.

Stir the breadcrumbs, onion powder, turmeric, sea salt, garlic powder and dry mustard together. Set aside.

Coat a nonstick baking sheet with a heavy coat of the nonstick cooking spray.

Using a hand whisk, whisk together the eggs and milk in a bowl. Pour the mixture over the florets and stir until they are fully coated.

Dredge the coated cauliflower florets in the breadcrumb mixture. Place the breaded florets on the coated baking sheet. Once they are all on there, spray a light coat of canola oil on them. Bake for 20 minutes until the cauliflower is soft and the outside is browned.

Serve with your favorite low/no sugar condiments.
