By fundraising in February and March as part of SUPER RARE 2024 you are showing people affected by bone marrow conditions that they may be SUPER RARE but they are not alone.
Here Jovita talks about how being diagnosed with PNH impacted her life.
How we're planning to help people affected by PNH this year:
Provide expert emotional well-being support, designed and delivered by qualified psychologists
Help members of our community to access benefits and insurance
Publish new up-to-date information resources to help people understand the condition, current
research and treatment
Facilitate improved opportunities for peer-to-peer support
Raise awareness and help you to explain the condition to clinicians, teachers, employers, and
the public.
Fundraise over £200 and we’ll send you a t-shirt.
