Rare Disease Day is the globally-coordinated movement on rare diseases, working towards equity in social opportunity, healthcare, and access to diagnosis and therapies for people living with a rare disease. It takes place on 29 February – the rarest day of the year!
This year, they are inviting all of us in the rare disease community to join a Global Chain of Lights. Together we will light up our monuments, our public spaces, our buildings, homes, hospitals and more. These lights show our resilience and strength towards a brighter future. Collectively, we can improve the lives of the 300 million people worldwide living with a rare disease.
