The work of Medics For Rare Disease relies on the generous contributions of sponsors and donors.

In 2013, Students4RareDiseases (our original name) was grateful to receive funding from Sanofi Genzyme by working with The UK LSD Collaborative. They received the PAL Award for the project “Hear hooves…Think Zebra” and thanks to this award we transformed a small student society into a national organisation.  Since then, Medics For Rare Disease has received sponsorship and donations from different companies.

We would like to thank all our sponsors and donors for their generous support. Rather than targeting resources on one specific disease they understand that one part of achieving earlier diagnoses is by breaking down the stigma of rare diseases in healthcare. The work of Medics For Rare Disease will benefit all rare diseases.

Please contact Jo McPherson to find out about our 2024 work programme and to discuss how you can support Medics For Rare Disease with its mission. We partner with commercial companies in order to receive funding and to progress its mission. The charity works independently from these companies. Sponsorship does not equate to endorsement of any company of its products.
