À propos
EURORDIS-Rare Diseases Europe is a unique, non-profit alliance of over 1,000 rare disease patient organisations from more than 70 countries that work together to improve the lives of all people living with rare diseases in Europe. By connecting and mobilising all stakeholders from within and outside the rare disease community, EURORDIS strengthens the voice of people living with rare diseases and shapes research, policies and services. Our vision is a world where all people living with a rare disease can have longer and better lives and can achieve their full potential, in a society that values their well-being and leaves no-one behind. To achieve their full potential, people living with a rare disease need to be: - recognised as equal citizens with their rights fully respected - diagnosed timely and accurately - supported by state-of-the-art medical and social care, or cured - included in society in all aspects of life and enabled to live independently Our mission is to work across borders and diseases to improve the lives of all people living with rare diseases.

Sport has well-documented mental health benefits, such as improving mood, sleep, reducing stress, and boosting self-esteem. It also plays a vital role in fostering community, bringing people together through teamwork and shared experiences. In our latest episode of '10 Minutes With Rhiannon Walls,' Paralympian Sofie Skoubo shares how sport has been pivotal in her rare disease journey and how she found a supportive community in her wheelchair rugby family.
