RARE DISEASES

30 million individuals suffer from rare diseases in Europe and half of them are children.
In Europe, a disease is considered to be rare if less than 1 person in 2000 is affected by the illness (Rare disease affects few people).

Unfortunately, rare diseases are numerous (7000 are known and a lot more of them probably exist). The cause is universal. 3 million individuals suffer from rare diseases in France and half of them are children.

Having a rare disease, is a real daily struggle with many obstacles to overcome: uncertain diagnosis, lack of treatment, isolation, daily care, etc. ...

It is therefore urgent to accelerate research! This is the main goal we have set for the Foundation for rare diseases, which since 2012 has funded more than 400 scientific research projects.
To find out more about his actions and results, check out in our 2020 activity report

Choosing to wear one of our solidarity bib is the opportunity to join us and get involved in rising the challenge of rare diseases."
