Day 4 of Rare Disease Month 💙

Today we share the powerful journey of Vimla , whose life changed completely after the sudden onset of severe autoimmune illness.
Her journey includes intense treatments, loss of mobility, repeated hospitalisations, vision complications, and even a near‑fatal cardiac event during chemotherapy. Despite these unimaginable challenges, Vimla continues to fight for proper care, stability, and recognition of her condition.
Her strength reminds us that chronic illness is not just a medical battle, it’s an emotional, physical, and financial one too.

Day 3 of Rare Disease Month 💙

Today, we share the inspiring story of Narishka Fourie, whose life changed at just ten years old when a day at the movies became the beginning of her rare disease journey. Now 18, she lives with Marfan syndrome, Chiari malformation, and scoliosis, three rare conditions that have shaped her path but have never dimmed her strength, talent, or voice.

Her story is one of courage, self-discovery, and rising above the limitations placed on her from a young age. From hospital rooms and countless medical tests to navigating school with misunderstood conditions, Narishka found resilience she never knew she had. Today, she is a musician, writer, model, and patient voice ambassador, using her platform to advocate for understanding, awareness, and empathy for those living with rare diseases.

Narishka reminds us that:
“Your story matters,and it might be exactly what someone else needs to hear.”

As Trigeminal Neuralgia warrior Ramohlale Mmaphuti reminds us: “It is rare, but it is real.” 🩵
