As part of #GaucherAwarenessMonth, we’re shining a light on the resilient patients who live with this #RareDisease and the importance of having a community to lean on. For Jade, one of the most important aspects of living with and managing her type 1 Gaucher disease was finding other patients who faced similar challenges and understood her experience firsthand. Attending in-person events, specifically for those with Gaucher disease, helped her to truly feel a connection with the community and build her support network. This October, learn more about Gaucher disease, explore available resources and see how patients like Jade are creating supportive networks: https://lnkd.in/e9a9SmMr
