You don’t know how strong you truly are until you’re put to the test. Through her journey with her chronic and rare disease, Stephanie has learned to be even more open and direct, to push her limits and to be 100% herself.
Life with a rare disease is often marked by many ups and downs. It is a complicated journey that highlights all the more how resilient, strong, courageous and full of joy of life the affected boys, girls, women and men are.
For the Rare Rewind campaign, we asked people affected by a rare disease what they would say to themselves if they could travel back in time to the moment when it all started.

At 19 years old, no one thinks about being confronted with a chronic, incurable disease… Cassandra’s life was turned upside down by her rare disease when she had just started university.
Over the years Cassandra has had to pivot many times. Today, she is graphic designer @lecachougraphic and the proud owner of a jewellery business @absynthiacreations

Most people know what a stroke is. But few people

Most people know what a stroke is. But few people know that children can have strokes too. It is indeed rare, but not impossible. As illustrated by Leo. However, because it is so rare, there are unfortunately many hurdles associated with it, as Leo’s parents, Manon and Natascha know all too well.
