Imagine if we all took the time to go beyond what’s comfortable. This is exactly what Jennifer did when she investigated whether multiple sclerosis is considered a rare disease.
Turns out it is, and just like that, our disease-related community is no longer defined by the estimated 2.5 million people worldwide who have MS.
Jennifer and I, as two people who have MS, are part of greater community of 300 million people around the world who are living with rare diseases.
This is why we are thrilled to celebrate Rare Disease Day on Tuesday, February 28.
In this episode, we dig into why this is such an important day for everyone living with a rare disease and see how you can expand your network by connecting with this important community.
