Ale, you will be truly missed 💔 May you find peace wherever you are. However, I hope those responsible for this never find the peace they took from you... My condolences to the RSB family and to all of Ale's loved ones.

We are devastated to announce the death of former colleague Alessandro Coatti who was murdered in Colombia. Alessandro, known as Ale, worked for RSB for 8 years. Our thoughts and best wishes go out to his friends & family.

Today is #rareDiseaseDay2025

A chance to raise awareness, promote equality, drive progress, and together celebrate the amazing rare disease community, the people living with these conditions, and their carers.

To mark the occasion, I want to share a story about this time last year.
