Zoe Karakikla-MitsakouFebruary 29th 2024 is Rare Disease Day. Lupus is a condition that is classified as rare in Europe. While it remains rare in numbers, lupus is all too familiar to those it affects.
Living with lupus often means navigating a world that is not designed with rare diseases in mind. The challenges faced by people living with lupus— from accessing a timely diagnosis to finding effective treatments—underscore the need for greater awareness and more research. Yet, the spirit of the European lupus community remains unyielding, driven by resilience and a shared vision of a fulfilling life for all people with lupus in Europe, until we have reached a world without lupus.
This Rare Disease Day let’s amplify the voices of the European lupus community. Visit the Rare Disease Day website: https://www.rarediseaseday.org/ to learn more about how you can take part in Rare Disease Day 2024!
