Rare Disease Day 2026

Rare Disease Day is a global campaign that highlights the 300 million people worldwide living with rare conditions. Many families face isolation, delayed diagnoses, and limited treatment options, but Rare Disease Day works to raise awareness among the public, healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers. On 28 February 2026 let’s rally together to support Rare Disease Day and help amplify the call for visibility in healthcare, research, and social support.  When communities, professionals, and advocates unite, we create momentum that drives progress and hope.  Your support makes a meaningful difference in building a world where rare disease patients and families are seen, valued, and supported.  Visit the website to access resources, discover events, and find ways to get involved.

２０２５ミトコンドリア病周知啓発ライトアップ

Following last year, we will again illuminate the “Kaze no Tsuribashi” (Wind Suspension Bridge) in Togawa Park in green on September 20 and 21, from dusk until 9:00 PM.

Last year, the event was co-hosted with another patient organization (MCM), but this year it will be organized solely by the Japan Mitochondria Green Society.

On September 20, from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM, we will hold awareness activities near the bridge, including the distribution of pamphlets and a small concert to raise awareness of mitochondrial disease.
