Student, RARE Youth Revolution

Eddie Bartlett

I am a 20-year-old student, currently studying Mechanical Engineering at Plymouth University. I was diagnosed with a rare disease, Addison’s disease in January 2021. Since then I have been trying to understand my condition, learning to balance my work life with my new condition.

Rare Youth Monologues

Sometimes we just need to stop and listen. Three young people will take to the stage to share their experiences of living with a rare condition in this unique spoken word performance. Followed by a chat facilitated by Dr Lucy McKay from Medics4RareDiseases.

My three wishes for the future of rare disease are:

  • To let doctors know what people with rare diseases go through
  • To spread awareness
  • To help people who are new to rare diseases.
