The countdown to Rare Disease Day 2026 is on! Join NORD on Thursday, Nov. 20, 2025, at 12 p.m. ET for a special Rare Disease Day webinar and learn how to take part in this global celebration. Rare Disease Day is a global awareness campaign driving awareness and change for people worldwide living with rare diseases, their families, and caregivers. The campaign is led by EURODIS – Rare Diseases Europe, and a steering committee of patient organizations from around the world. As the US Sponsor for Rare Disease Day, NORD leads national awareness and activation efforts. Don’t miss your chance to get involved.

Rare Disease Day is more than a single day of awareness. It’s an international movement that connects and inspires people across generations and professions. Together, we can turn this awareness moment into a movement – one that fuels empathy, knowledge, and progress year after year. We need your voice, your creativity, your commitment, and your help to amplify our voices and shine a light on rare disease. Every classroom activity, social post, and illuminated landmark adds to the momentum – helping us reach new audiences and strengthen our community.

Childhood worries are a normal part of growing up and range from fears of the dark and monsters in young children to school-related stress, social pressures, and even abstract concepts like climate change in older children. Common worries include peer relationships, school performance, fitting in, family issues, and specific fears like dogs, heights, or thunderstorms. If worries are persistent, overly intense, or interfere with daily life, they may signal a more serious anxiety disorder and professional help may be needed.
