Rare Disease Day is a Global Day of Solidarity for people living with a rare disorder.

Since 2019, significant buildings and landmarks around the world have been illuminated on the last day of February to create a global chain of lights in support of all those affected by rare disorders and their families.

Contact engagement@raredisorders.org.nz if you would like to get involved in this initiative.
