Today we are lighting up our Venues in Orange, for Rare Disease Day 🧡

Rare Disease Day is a global day of solidarity for people living with a rare disorder observed every year on the last day of February - and this year it's on the very rarest of days – 29th February! A day as unique as this is the perfect opportunity to celebrate uniqueness in our community!

It’s not rare to have a rare disorder. In Aotearoa, more than 300,000 people live with one of over 7,000 rare disorders - and more than half of those affected are children. Living with a condition that not many others have or know about can feel quite isolating, so we are glowing up today to show our support and aroha for the rare disorder community. Together we can bring rare disorders out of the darkness and into the light! If you would like to show your support, you can donate to Rare Disorders NZ https://givealittle.co.nz/org/rare-disorders-nz
