A Rare Disease Day Reminder

Rare Disease Day falls each year on the last day of February – this year, on the rarest day of Leap Day – and offers each of us around the world the opportunity to reflect on the truly unique struggles of every child and adult living with a rare or ultra-rare disease. For these patients – half of whom are children – time is of the essence. The celebration of this day each year renews their hope and reminds them that they are not forgotten.
