Episode 7: Advocacy, Rare Disease Day, & a Giveaway!


Listen Later

How familiar are you with rare disease advocacy? In episode 7 we talk about how advocacy impacts drug development as well as how it impacts the social systems our children are a part of. We share ways to get involved with organizations that champion rare diseases and encourage you to get out there and share your challenges and needs with those who can make a difference. We also share about a Rare Disease Day giveaway we are running all month long!
