Rare Disease Week 2024

Rare Disease Week is quickly approaching, and we're thrilled to announce that both FAST and ASF will be joining numerous other rare disease groups on Capitol Hill in person. While we are in DC, we invite the Angelman syndrome community to register for informative sessions with the NIH, Everylife Foundation, and FDA and help spread awareness to the 7,000 rare diseases worldwide.

Let's make our voices heard and drive progress together.
