Dear Ones:
It's not 'fun' and it's not 'popular'. But here I am to tell you about 'Rare Disease Day 29 February 2012'.
Yes, this is the day where 'the powers that be' turn their attentions to 'orphan' diseases...and to those conditions which can make life miserable, but which affect only the 'few' and thus receive scant attention:

This is a 'global effort', as it should be for the kind of things that affect ALL humans, regardless of where they happen to be on the globe.
Can there be any doubt that ALL peoples of 'good faith' wish nothing but the 'best' and 'the best of care' for those in need?
Certainly not!

Certainly not!
So, if you are suffering from (or are the love one of) a 'rare disease', you are keenly aware of what this 'leap year day' of February 29, 2012 means.
It means that you are not forgotten. It means that you can rest assured there are those who care. You can know that there definitely ARE researchers and others who have your interests at heart.
And, most of all, it means you have HOPE for a cure, and if not cure, for a treatment..and if not a treatment, then the hope of a 'prevention'.
In this spirit of communal compassion, I ask that each of you reading this takes the time to realize that, truly, 'there but for the grace of God, go each of ourselves and our loved ones'.
Today is a day to appreciate the gains of modern science, while understanding and being grateful for our Creator who loves us so much.
God made us His magnificent creation! Let us remember--today and all days--to never take His gift of life to us for granted.
And never let us forget that, as Christians, when we pray in the powerful name of Jesus Christ...
ALL things are possible!
In Christ's Name,
