Join us for this tiny expedition into rare disease research and advocacy. You’ll hear from a family who turned their experiences caring for their son with a rare disease and turned them into an advocacy organization to help other parents. You will also learn how scientists are trying to end the long and emotional diagnostic odysseys that many patients and their families endure.
