It’s time to gear up for International Rare Disease Day!
We invite you to wear stripes and KAT6 awareness clothing to show your solidarity with our ultra-rare community.
Last year, families across the KAT6 community advocated for Rare Disease Day in their local communities, schools, and even in the press. We hope you will join us again in 2026.
