Help us build awareness and show support for Rare Disease Day on Monday, February 29th. Rare Disease Day takes place the last day of February each year and it is a day dedicated to bringing widespread recognition of the challenges faced by people living with rare diseases. What is a Rare Disease? In the United States, any disease that affects fewer than 200,000 people is considered rare. There are nearly 7,000 rare diseases impacting nearly 30 million Americans -- that's about 1 in every 10 people. Challenges that all patients and families affected by rare diseases share: Devastating medical problems & symptoms Difficulty getting a clear diagnosis Limited availability of information on their condition Limited or no treatment options Feeling alone or isolated There are over 6,000 Rare Diseases and for most there is no cure or approved treatments. Show your support by liking the Rare Disease Day Facebook page and following the Twitter feed where we encourage you to share your thoughts and experiences — because together we can make a difference.
