Rare Disease Day

We have created a video to celebrate Rare Disease Day on February 28th 2021. The video features many of our inspirational children and reminds us all that there is happiness, fun and hope even in the darkest times.
Please share our video and consider donating to the SGS Foundation this Rare Disease Day. We are raising funds to support research into SGS and the symptoms which can seriously impact the quality and length of life of children living with this life-limiting rare disease.
