RARE DISEASES WALK - TELETHON 2024

Thank you Adele! 🩷💙💚

You were a champion at the Rare Diseases Walk this Saturday, November 30.

It was a pleasure to walk with you, Hélène, Simon, and Marie-Céline, to meet friends, acquaintances and to make lots of others!

We will remember Alex, Clémence, Lucas, the super nice ladies who explained and let you try out their wheelchair, the bus to rest... the smiles, the shared dances, the pretty Blue, Pink and Green colors of rare diseases...

Alice thanks you for the balloon you gave her, which crossed Paris, took the metro and the train to end up in her room in Rouen. 🧡

Thanks to the Rare Diseases Alliance and AFM-Telethon for these suspended moments.

Thank you to you, the Vaillants and friends of the Vaillants, for being with us from afar with your "likes" and your messages!

Thanks to Marie-Céline Pestrinaux from Epilepsie France for sharing this walk with us

Thank you to the Groupama Foundation for walking with rare diseases, it was a pleasure to meet you.

SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!!!

Many thanks to Gan Assurance and the Groupama Foundation

The donation requested by the association Les Extra-Vaillants MYT1L from the Groupama Foundation has two objectives:

1. The acquisition of an IPad 10 tablet and accessories for Les Vaillants (France) in order to :

Promote the development of alternative and augmented communication

Promote the development of learning

Promote the autonomy of people with MYT1L syndrome

The aim is to help families put in place more appropriate tools that are not covered by the MDPH or for which it still has to pay. A broader support fund is also a second objective.

=> For more information, contact: extravaillants@gmail.com

2. Welcoming and supervising families and Vaillants at the 2nd International Day for Families, Clinicians and Researchers on the MYT1L gene on 5, 6 and 7 JUNE 2025. To date, more than 115 people, Valiants and their families are expected from all over France and abroad (Chile, South Africa, Poland, Serbia, United States, United Kingdom).

Thank you to Alice, Clémence and Neïa our MYT1L Extra-Vaillants ambassadors!

Thank you to friends and family for being there with us for this very special moment! There were over twenty of us!

Well done Clémence for braving all the weather and making it to the end of the walk! You look magnificent with the Eiffel Tower behind you.

Bravo Neïa for being so strong and proud to hold the Vaillants sign for this walk, you're so cute.

Bravo Alice for taking the march all the way to the metro and the trunk of your car! We'll keep talking about the march in Rouen.

To all you Vaillants, we've been thinking of you!

Thank you Alliance Maladies Rares.

It was an intense day! A 1st Cross Solidaire for the association and the 12th for the Sacré Coeur and Ange Gardien schools and college in Domfront!
It will remain a vibrant memory and a support that will benefit Les Vaillants for a long time to come.


It was a moment of sharing, commitment, kindness and crazy warmth!
We formed a whole around the Vaillants, and their three little representatives of the day, Neia, Elsa and Alice.

Neia's family is originally from the region, so she was incredible! Thank you 🧡💛💙

National Congress of the Rare Diseases Alliance 2023

The challenges of the 4th National Plan for Rare Diseases (PNMR)

GOING FURTHER 
Since the launch of the PNMR3, strong measures have been taken to reduce the number of people with rare diseases who are left without a diagnosis.
These measures still need to be consolidated in a fourth national plan for rare diseases.
It will also be a question of using new measures to go even further in this area of diagnosis, as well as improving access to treatments for rare diseases and to biotherapies by reinforcing the collection of health data and biobanks.
(extract "Towards a fourth national plan for rare diseases (PNMR4): for greater synergies between care and research", Ministry of Higher Education and Research - 28/02/2023). You can consult the full press release with the assessment of the previous NRDPs by clicking on the underlined words.

Annual Scientific Conference
Rare Diseases Foundation

Collège de France - May 31, 2022

We had the pleasure of attending this conference where medical and health sciences rubbed shoulders with human and social sciences.

Needless to say, it was rewarding!

 

We invite you to connect to the YouTube channel of the Rare Diseases Foundation for a replay of the subjects which could interest you (reminder of the program ).

 

Following issues raised by certain families, we would like to refer you more specifically to an article on the complexity of monitoring patients in the transition from pediatrics to "adult" monitoring:

- " Between medical transition and passage to adulthood, a possible conflict of temporality for young people suffering from a chronic illness "
