Queen Letizia attends World Rare Diseases Day event
On Tuesday, Queen Letizia attended an event hosted by the Spanish Federation of Rare Diseases (FEDER) to mark World Rare Diseases Day in Sevilla. The event was organized within the framework of the organization’s campaign “In rare diseases, is prevention better than cure?”.
In her speech, Queen Letizia celebrated the 25th anniversary of FEDER: “So that's why we are here, to remember that origin of a 25-year history of success. And above all, we are here to recognize all the people who suffer from a rare disease and the families who accompany you on that path. Your strength. Your generosity. Your patience. And your intelligence. And also to recognize that capacity that you demonstrate every day to continue taking care of your sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters. Continue caring. To continue claiming your rights. And to also remind us that we have that path I was talking about, we must all do it together. “
During the event, Queen Letizia also presented the FEDER 25th Anniversary Awards to the Association for Deficiencies that Affect Growth and Development, the Catalan Association of Neurofibromatosis, the Murcian Cystic Fibrosis Association, the Galician Federation of Rare Diseases, the HHT Spain Association, and the Ataxia Federation of Spain.
Queen Letizia wore her Galcon Studio dress with her Magrit pumps, her Carolina Herrera earrings, and her Coreterno ring.
