Our 2024 Annual Report has been published
-> link in bio

The strong demand for support in 2024 underlines the importance of the 2nd National Plan for Rare Diseases !!

The Annual Report shows that in 2024, our psychosocial consultation service received 699 requests for support – a record for ALAN. Thus, we continued our support, patient empowerment, and advocacy efforts, particularly in light of the launch of the 2nd National Rare Disease Plan.

We were delighted to catch up with many of our members, volunteers and friends at our general assembly. A big thank you to the Mamer Council, for their support with the event organisation.

It is also our great pleasure to officially welcome Britta Schlüter as an active member of ALAN, and Christian Erang, representative of @den_i.lu , as the newest member of the Board of Directors of ALAN.

Order your t-shirt by artist @yanntoss to support

Order your t-shirt by artist @yanntoss to support rare diseases!

The “Daily Distortion” project is a collaboration between the artist Yannick Tossing and ALAN aiming
to raise awareness for rare diseases, with a focus on Huntington’s disease which is the artist’s source of inspiration. The ethical and eco-friendly t-shirts, designed by Yannick Tossing, are produced by the Foundation Kräizbierg. The illustrations symbolize the impact a rare disease has on everyday life and the distortion of what is considered to be “normal”. The net profits from the project go to ALAN.

You can pre-order the t-shirts until the 31st of March on www.yannicktossing.com/daily-distortion

- choose 1 of 4 illustrations and your size
- fill in a short order form (https://bit.ly/alan-tshirts)
- pay via Payconiq or bank transfer
- we aim to have the t-shirts delivered to you by the end of April

On Friday we didn’t just celebrate Rare Disease

On Friday we didn’t just celebrate Rare Disease Day, but also the launch of our new project with artist Yannick Tossing.

We want to thank our Minister of Health, @deprez_martine_ , @yanntoss, @fondation_kraizbierg, @schroeder.associes , Henri Goergen, and all our friends and partners who once again emphasized their support for our community.

We will share the details about the project in a separate post, but those who are already curious can find information on Yannick’s website: www.yannicktossing.com/daily-distortion
