Rare Disease Day® 2016 was a Smashing Success!

Rare Disease Day 2016 was bigger and better than ever. Here are some highlights.

Rare Disease Day® 2016 was a Smashing Success!
Thank You!
Thank you to our rare disease partners and every person who worked to heighten awareness on Rare Disease Day®. This is the one day that everyone comes together globally to bring attention to all 7,000 rare diseases that combined affect 30 million Americans--or 1 in 10 of us--and millions more around the world.
NORD is proud to be the U.S. sponsor of Rare Disease Day to help raise awareness and spread the word about rare diseases.
Without partners and supporters like you, Rare Disease Day would not be this successful. Thank you for your support, thank you for helping us heighten awareness, and hopefully every Rare Disease Day will lead us toward more cures. Thank you all for your support.
