Send a Rare Disease Day Message to Congress!

24-Hour "Handprints on the Hill" Campaign


For 24 hours on Rare Disease Day, you can send an email to President Obama, your representatives in Congress, your governor, and your state legislators through the NORD website, the Rare Disease Day US website, or the Rare Disease Day US Facebook page. It's quick and easy. Anyone can do it. Just use the basic text we'll provide that applies to the entire rare disease community. Personalize it with your own hopes or concerns. Enter your zipcode, and click to submit. You'll receive a "Handprints on the Hill" badge that you can share on Facebook or elsewhere to tell your friends you participated in this campaign. Watch for this from midnight Feb. 28th to midnight Feb. 29th!
