On this mission, UP partners with leading organizations like World Relief Organization, American Limb Association, Fred Hutchison hospital, and Seattle Children's hospital. With his determination, Rakshith and UP's volunteers from across WA schools have already raised over $25,000 for organizations like Seattle Children's, World Relief, and the American Limb Association, and published two original study research papers in the field of sports science.
