HELP TO RAISE AWARENESS ON
RARE DISEASE DAY
An annual event coordinated by EURORDIS.
Get ready for February 29th 2020!
Hundreds of patient organizations from all over the world help to raise awareness.
It’s here! Rare Disease Day, February 29!
THE OBJECTIVE
The objective of Rare Disease Day is to raise awareness about rare diseases and their impact on the lives of patients.
For 2020, February 29th will be the 13th international Rare Disease Day coordinated by EURORDIS. On and around this day hundreds of patient organizations from countries and regions all over the world will hold awareness-raising activities.
GET INVOLVED
Rare Disease Day is for EVERYONE - patients, family members, friends, clinicians, researchers, and policy makers.
To acknowledge Rare Disease Day, IamGSD has set out two campaigns:
1. Patient Registry
To learn more about how living with a Muscle GSD impacts you, IamGSD has partnered with Sanford Health to develop a Muscle GSD patient-registry. IamGSD will launch the registry on Rare Disease Day. Links to the patient-registry will be made available on February 29th HERE and on Facebook.
2. Get Moving
The #GETMOVING campaign simply aims to encourage and support all individuals with a muscle GSD to #GetMoving. This campaign will begin on February 29th and run for 11 weeks. All you have to do is take that first step and #GetMoving – a few steps, a few blocks, or a few miles each day!
We look forward to hearing how YOU #GetMoving.
