This Rare Disease Day, 29th February 2024, our aim is to highlight how rare conditions are far more common than most people think.

This is a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness and make a difference.

Here is what our friend, Canberk, said:

"Many people in the world live with ataxia, so we are definitely not a minority. Besides, isn't rare always more valuable? I think we need to look at the situation this way, so let's not hide ourselves and be brave enough to come out."

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and making a difference, Canberk!

You can find more information and raise awareness by sharing your story for Rare Disease Day: ataxia.org.uk/rare-disease-...
