Rare Disease Day takes place on the last day of February every year. People all over the world live a more complex life due to conditions such as MPS, HAE and Fabry. This is what we’re here to change, and we need your help to make the lives of thousands of people better by improving their diagnosis journey.

What is a rare disease?

Rare diseases are often life-changing conditions that affect an extremely small per cent of the population. Symptoms can be subtle, persistent, lay dormant for years or be pronounced early in life. The main challenge in every case is that their sheer rarity makes accurate diagnosis difficult.

The more people who become aware of rare diseases the better. We’re so passionate about Rare Disease Day and the good it can do in raising awareness. Because the more minds we can change, the more lives we can change too.
