Fifth International Rare Disease Day by EURORDIS

A WORD FROM CHERYL FIELDS, MEBO U.S. Community Outreach Director
to our international community

February 29, 2012 marks the fifth international Rare Disease Day coordinated by EURORDIS and organised with rare disease national alliances in 25 European countries. On this day hundreds of patient organisations from more than 40 countries worldwide are organsing awareness-raising activities converging around the slogan “Rare but strong together”.

Activities will take place across Europe, all the way to Russia, continuing to China and Japan, in the US and Canada, and as far as Australia and New Zealand! Get involved!

29 FEBRUARY 2012 is International Rare Disease Day.

***During the month of February 2012, this year we will be raising awareness about TMAU for the entire month of February 2012. This is our time to stand, shine, and make positive contributions about our disorder/disease. Please stand by for additional details on how you all can help make it happen.

Cheryl has informed EURORDIS of the following:

We [MEBO Research]are asking for volunteers from all over the world to contact their local media outlets to do a story on MEBO Research and people with TMAU. The goal of the group is to get on CNN international and on the global international television stations.There are TMAU patients all over the world. People with disabilities deserve a fair chance to work, live, and love.

Thank you so very much for your time.
