Adults Living Rare

The Rare Advocacy Movement (RAM) and The Planning Shop (TPS) have teamed up to gain a better understanding of what the rare disease landscape looks like in the U.S. for adults aged 18 and over. This survey will generate useful data which RAM and TPS will use in a number of campaigns to help inform public discussions about rare diseases, and raise awareness of the challenges that adults living with rare conditions face on a daily basis.
