Share your photos
Do you have any photos of yourself or your child that you would be happy for us to use around Rare Disease Day / TOFS Awareness Week or for us to use in our other comms throughout the year?
We are looking to highlight what it means to live with a rare condition and the importance of coordination of care, and high quality photos will help us to do just that. You can also share them on your own social media and tag us in.
