Rare Disease Day 2025: The Zebra and the Bear
We had the absolute pleasure of hosting an advanced screening of The Zebra and the Bear, directed by Patrick O'Connor and telling the story of Amber Olsen and her daughter, Willow, who battled an ultra-rare disease. We thank Patrick and Amber for partnering with us for this amazing and important Rare Disease Day event to raise awareness and help others impacted by rare diseases to know they are never alone.
