In China's vast mountainous regions, there exists a group of special children and their families who face tremendous challenges in diagnosing rare diseases. In China, the widespread lack of professional knowledge about rare diseases among primary-level physicians has led to the common occurrence of misdiagnosis and improper treatment. For example, over 30% of rare disease patients need to consult 5 to 10 doctors before receiving a confirmed diagnosis. In underserved areas, 58.15% of rare disease patients have experienced misdiagnosis, with 35.20% having been misdiagnosed more than 5 times. Difficulty in accessing medication is another major hurdle faced by rare disease patients. Globally, most rare diseases have no available treatment, and less than 5% of rare diseases have therapeutic drugs. Even when such drugs exist, patients still have to bear exorbitant costs, resulting in a heavy financial burden.

Our "Bring me to You" project was born from this reality—we are committed to bringing genetic testing technology to the mountain families who need it most, letting the light of science illuminate families bewildered by rare diseases. With internationally renowned geneticist Professor Shen Yiping joining our team consisting of high-school rare disease advocate, social entrepreneurs and social workers, we offered free charitable genetic testing and diagnosis for 16 families, who deserve an answer that has been long forgotten.
