Ninja with a Cause Monday

Some diseases are like ninjas to the public. Never heard, never seen and very deadly.
Rare diseases probably don't get the recognition they should meaning they probably don't get the funds and research they should either.


Rare Disease Day - Last day of February every year.  Save the day. 


Rare Disease day was first observed in Europe in 2008 by Eurordis. (Rare Diseases of Europe)
In 2009 they asked NORD (National Organizations for Rare Disorders) to get involved.
In 2011 over 60 countries were involved.
