Get ready to show your stripes for #RareDiseaseDay THIS Friday! Rare Disease Day is an awareness event that takes place every year on the last day of February to focus public attention on rare diseases as a public health concern. #ITP #ITPAwareness #ShowYourStripes 💜🦓

Tomorrow is #RareDiseaseDay, a global initiative to raise awareness and generate support for everyone who is on a rare medical journey. With more than 10,000 rare conditions, everyone likely knows someone impacted by a rare disease. #RareVoice #PatientVoice #Advocacy #Awareness

Today we stand together to celebrate #RareDiseaseDay. Rare Disease Day means bringing attention to #ITP and all rare diseases, which often go unnoticed. It provides a platform for advocacy, allowing #RareVoices to be heard and to share their daily challenges. #ShowYourStripes
