🌍 Celebrating Rare Disease Day 🌍

Rare Disease Day happens every year on February 28 (or 29 in leap years)—the rarest day of all. For MDDA and the IEM community, Rare Disease Day is a chance to share our experiences, teach others about living with a rare disease, and talk to policy makers. It creates a feeling of togetherness and common goals as we go through life in the IEM community. Let’s stand together on Rare Disease Day, raising awareness, pushing for change, and supporting each other on our special journey. This day reminds us that even though globally each rare disease affects only a small number of people, together they impact over 300 million individuals worldwide. Rare Disease Day brings hope and strength to many of us. It shows that our challenges are recognised, and our efforts to speak up can make a real difference. This day sheds light on the unique obstacles we face, from limited treatment choices to the complexities of managing our health. By spreading awareness, Rare Disease Day helps us get more funding for research, find new solutions, and improve access to the right healthcare.
Rare Disease Day 2024 🤝 🌐💚 Share your story, spread the word. Let’s make Rare Disease Day a day that transforms lives! 🚀 #RareDiseaseDay #UnityInRare #MDDA
