About RAM

The Rare Advocacy Movement (RAM) is the first community-based network dedicated to protecting the interests of the global community of people living with rare conditions, chronic & progressive disabilities, medical complexities and their families.

RAM represents a unified rare disease patient and carer ecosystem that works through specialized Rare360 collaborations, across the globe, to address the mutual needs of the patient and carer community, from the community-based perspective.

RAM is committed to transparency, the empowerment of patients and their families living with chronic rare diseases through the correction of harmful biases and assumptions, the dissolution of siloed resources and the removal of harmful bottlenecks from the rare disease ecosystem. RAM’s goal is to pave a community-based path for people living with rare medical conditions to have equitable access to the opportunity to thrive.

The Community

360 million people are living with or are suspected of having a rare disease worldwide.

5% of the global population has a rare disease.
29% of rare disease people are children.
71% of rare disease people are adults.
70% of rare diseases are exclusively pediatric onset; which means, most rare disease adults have been living with at least one rare condition since childhood.

We are the real world, naturally diverse, network of people Living Rare, mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, neurodivergent people, people with visible and invisible disabilities, and closely allied friends and partners all on a shared mission of empowerment.

“Nothing About Us Without Us.” – the Living Rare Community

The Rare Disease Ecosystem

The rare disease ecosystem consists of 12 different stakeholders:

The Patient Community
The Caregiver Community (Parents and Parental Guardians)
The Care Partner Community (Spouses and other non-parental partnership roles)
Community-based Activists and Organizations
Advocacy-based Non-profit Organizations/Charities
Pharmaceutical/Biotechnology Companies
Insurance Providers
Researchers/Scientists/Academia
Healthcare Providers
Industry Service Providers (i.e. clinical research organizations, commercial-phase consultants, etc.)
Regulatory Agencies
Pharmacies (medication dispensaries/distributors)

While the theme of patient-centricity is often at the core of each exploratory discussion, each rare disease focused stakeholder’s primary objective tends to center around bringing safe and effective therapeutic treatments to the market. For community-based activists within the RAM network, there is a grassroots expectation that all collaborations be mutually beneficial and sustainable. RAM is dedicated to unifying the community-based landscape with sincere community-focused advocates sincerely determined to develop accessible resources, services and opportunities for patients and their families.
