Life with DADA2 or any #raredisease isn't easy. More info & people who know what life is like helps. 🥳We loved seeing 20+ patients/caregivers from 8 countries last weekend for an online gathering. 🤝Give this #rarediseasemonth to support these gatherings! https://t.co/otUkl1I7aM

“Even the doctors were confused. I wanted to live more.” What's a DADA2 journey? Tomas tells us in a self-made video about being a lonely child to being an active adult. He is 1 face of 650+ known DADA2 patients. We want to find each one. #rarediseaseday https://t.co/JqLbbPWCAE

Surprising numbers? Especially the difference between known DADA2 patients and possible total population? This #RareDiseaseDay, we honor the bravery of the world's rare disease warriors. Help us make sure patients and physicians get resources.
