Rare Disease Day - February 29, 2012

The NOMID Alliance is proud to be a partner of Rare Disease Day. We are involved in a number of legislative efforts for Rare Disease Day, to increase support for research and legislation for rare diseases. In addition, two of our board members have been involved in getting their Congressmen to join the Rare Disease Caucus, and support rare disease legislation. We will have more details on this effort soon. The NOMID Alliance is also hosting an event in San Francisco on Saturday, February 25, 2012 for Rare Diseases at Ocean Beach.

J.R., a teen with CAPS from Nebraska was successful in 2011, and also in 2010 with her efforts to have the Governor of Nebraska issue an official proclamation in honor of The NOMID Alliance to recognize Rare Disease Day in the State of Nebraska! Thanks to all that wrote to their governors to get proclamations in their states, including A.R. in Arkansas. Rare Disease Day was recognized in all states in 2011, and officially recognized by Congress this year too.

  

Dorelia R., one of our board members and Michele M, a parent attended the Rare Disease Day media event and rally in Chicago very early on a cold winter morning for Rare Disease Day 2011 on February 28th. Thanks for supporting rare diseases, and representing The NOMID Alliance! We really appreciate it.
