Rare Disease Day 2021
Did you know alopecia areata (AA) falls under the category of Genetic and Rare Diseases? As an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, affecting roughly 2% of the population at some point in their lifetime, it sure does.
Rare is strong.
Rare is many.
Rare is proud.
AAAF is proud to represent individuals with Alopecia Areata, a rare disease. We are proud to be surrounded by strong individuals, just like YOU.
To support you, the GSNV will be holding a virtual event to raise awareness amongst the general public and anyone who has an interest in rare diseases. Stay up to date on event information by clicking here.
Their theme is “Who is on your team?”, presenting a series of conversations lead by our CEO Monica Ferrie and focusing on strengthening the capacity of individuals within the Genetic, Undiagnosed and Rare Disease communities.
Head on over to The Genetic Support Network of Victoria (GSNV) to check it out.
This means that Feb 28 is a special day for us. It is Rare Disease Day 2021! We were so excited by GSNV’s theme this year ¨Who´s on your team?¨
So, who´s on your team?
Maybe it is your doctor, your family, friends pr pets. Of course… Don’t forget us, we are always on your team.
