On 28 February 2022, the rare disease community is coming together for Rare Disease Day to spread hope and solidarity across the world with a global chain of lights.
Monuments, offices, schools and homes are being lit up in the Rare Disease Day colours (green, blue, purple and pink) to raise awareness for the 300 million people living with a rare disease and their families.
Everyone is invited to light or decorate their home with the Rare Disease Day colours at 7 PM your local time on Monday, 28 February 2022.
How to Get Involved?
There are lots of different ways that you can join the Global Chain of Lights!
