“My dad is my Fabry hero. My parents knew there was a chance that their kids would be affected by Fabry, but they always did everything in their power so we could be living the best lives possible.“ — Woo, 17, South Korea #FabryHeroes #fabryawarenessmonth

“Natasja is my Fabry hero. We met on a Young Adults weekend and immediately clicked and became very close on the trip. She’s a friend for life who knows exactly what I’m going trough.” — Michelle, 21, The Netherlands #FabryHeroes #FabryAwarenessMonth

We’re surrounded by incredible Fabry heroes such as families, friends, medical teams who are always there for us. But don’t forget… You’re the real superhero facing the disease every single day. Never forget how strong and amazing you are! #FabryHeroes #FabryAwarenessMonth

“My therapist is definitely my Fabry hero. My visits to my therapist help me cope with setbacks and bad days, so let this also be a reminder that it is okay to seek help if you feel like you need it.” — Nick, 27, United States #FabryHeroes #FabryAwarenessMonth

At FIN we’re so lucky to be surrounded by Fabry heroes! YOU, who faces Fabry every single day, who educates about the disease, who are living with someone affected by Fabry, who inform the community, who are a healthcare professional. Every single one of you is a Fabry hero.

“My husband is my Fabry hero. From the moment we met, he has been educating himself and learning more about Fabry every day. He's always there to help whenever and wherever I need it. He’s my biggest support.” — Danielle, 52, Germany #FabryHeroes #FabryAwarenessMonth

Happy Fabry International Women’s Day! This special day was brought to life to raise awareness about women and girls affected by Fabry disease. Let’s celebrate all the superhero women today. #FabryHeroes #FabryAwarenessMonth

Because #Fabry is a hidden disease there aren’t many signs that I sometimes struggle. People assume you're fine because you look fine. I try to avoid drawing attention to myself, but it's important to speak out. — Alex, 16, Poland #FabryAwarenessMonth #FabryDisease #Fin #1FDSM

“My friends challenge me to keep an active life. They’ll remind me that #FabryDisease is not the only thing that defines me. Their enthusiasm works contagiously, and when it’s a bit too much, I’m always allowed to say no.” — Bo, 33, China #FabryHeroes #FabryAwarenessMonth #1FDSM

“Meeting other people with #Fabry gives me energy. We automatically have a bond, because we have this rare disease in common. I’m very grateful for my Fabry family.” — Mary, 55, United States #FabryHeroes #FabryAwarenessMonth #FabryDisease #FabryInternationalNetwork #Fin #1FDSM

“Everything changed, once I got in touch with the right physician. She takes her time to listen and helps me to stay on track monitoring my symptoms. My wife called her a hero. I think she’s right.” — Moses, 41, Egypt #FabryHeroes #FabryAwarenessMonth #Fabry #FabryDisease #1FDSM

“Instead of being afraid, worried, or embarrassed that I have #FabryDisease, I try to be confident. It's okay to tell people you're suffering and help them to understand what you're going through.” — Lou, 12, Denmark #FabryHeroes #FabryAwarenessMonth #Fabry #Fin #1FDSM

“I used to be focused on everything I can’t do because of #Fabry. Conversations with other people with Fabry changed that. By setting my own limits and believing in myself I can achieve so much more.” — Ji-Woo, 19, South-Korea #FabryHeroes #FabryAwarenessMonth #Fin #1FDSM
