In this article, I explain my route into the world of rare conditions, my experience of working as a clinician, and my passion for raising awareness to all involved. I achieve this by providing education to healthcare professionals, patients, and patient advocates in low- and middle-income countries. I also discuss the vital role that medical writers have played in this mission.
