Rare Disease Day

Rare Disease Day is February 28th this year!

Rare Disease Day, held every year on the last day of February, is an observance held to raise awareness about rare diseases and advocate for better research, treatment, and support for individuals living with these conditions.

The day highlights the challenges faced by people with rare diseases, including difficulties in obtaining diagnoses, limited treatment options, and the need for increased funding and policy changes. Events such as awareness campaigns, educational seminars, and fundraisers take place worldwide to promote understanding and encourage action. Since February 29 is the rarest day on the calendar, it was chosen as the official date, with the event falling on February 28 in non-leap years.

When people with similar life experiences support each other, it can make a big difference. It helps you feel less alone, gives you hope, and often brings helpful advice that comes from real experience. Whether it’s dealing with a disability, mental health, or big life changes, support from someone who “gets it” can truly change your life.
