THE PERSON BEHIND THE PLATFORM
Hi, I’m Daniel.
Living with Fabry disease has shown me how much it matters to feel understood. I created Rare & Chronic Voices to build the kind of place I was looking for myself.
Here, there is room for difficult days, small joys and everything in between. Photography and time in nature are part of that story, too.
I also serve as treasurer and a member of the executive board of MFSH.
