Wharton undergraduates are taking on Castleman disease! They've created a Castleman Warrior Toolkit: the ultimate guide for CD patients and their families who want to fight back against CD by raising awareness and funds for research and supporting other patients and loved ones. 

They're kicking off a Social Media Campaign this week: challenging everyone to take a photo in their #WarriorStance #ReadyForWar and tagging/asking two friends to do the same. Visit the CDCN Facebook Page to check out photos and to post your own!
