Join our Rare Disease Day photo challenge!

In the run up to Rare Disease Day 2017, we’re asking all our supporters to take part in a 28-day photo challenge on Instagram to help raise awareness of living with a rare disease.

Rare Disease Day is an international event to raise awareness about rare diseases and their impact on patients. Our photo challenge is open to all our supporters and there will be prizes for the best photos and most committed participants!

From 1-28 February, we’d like everyone to post one photo a day based on the themes we’ve provided below. If you can't manage every day, feel free to participate on the days that most appeal to you.

Let's get #RareDiseaseDay trending and start a conversation about rare diseases!
