Local Matters: Library event raises rare disorders profile; April 12, 2023
Glow Up & Show Up for rare disorders event at the Warkworth Library
Raising awareness for Rare Disorders in NZ. It’s not rare to have a rare disorder. In Aotearoa, more than 300,000 people live with one of 7,000 rare disorders - that’s similar to the population of Wellington. Yet they all struggle to get the medical help they need, in our current health system. Families in the area impacted by a rare disorder gathered at midday for a group photo!
"What that boils down to is that there are far too many disabled people and families who are isolated, lonely and excluded from everything, from employment opportunities to venues and events." - Mahurangi Matters, Aug 2022
