I learned of Jack Klugman's death on Christmas Eve, and remembered his TV characters (Odd Couple played often on our home TV, as did Quincy,MD). I didn't remember until I saw this Washington Post article that he probably extended thousands (if not millions) of lives through his work to support Orphan Drugs:

His influence and hard work changed the world.
If you are seeking an organization that continues this valuable work of fighting a rare disease, please consider donating to the Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma Research Foundation: http://www.accrf.org/.
