Rare conditions affects 1 in 17 people. That’s over 400,000 people in Scotland! Together we aren’t that rare!
Thank you to everyone that sent in their photos/videos/story to help us celebrate Rare Disease Day 2021!
This is Harlow.. she’s my “someone rare”. She was diagnosed with Noonans syndrome and then admitted for failure to thrive at just 4 months old. She has a heart condition, cancer screenings are part of her little life, is fiercely protective of what she thinks is the right thing, and will never ever be told she’s not the queen! She makes it all worth it and I’m better having been given the gift of raising her. Long live the queen! #noonansyndromeawareness – Christina, Harlow’s Mum
