More Than You Can Imagine

On February 28th, we celebrate Rare Disease Day to shine a light on the incredible strength of those living with a rare disease. These diseases affect more people, communities, and families than most realize because they often hide under common symptoms, leading to misdiagnosis and delays in treatment. That’s why awareness is crucial – and so is access to the care and therapies patients need.
