It's a day that highlights the roughly 350 million people across the world that are affected by a rare disease.Sue Giles of Burton spent the last several years fighting for her life against a rare form of Lymphoma that she says nearly killed her.Hope, her family and the health systems in Cleveland, she says, are what got her through the really rough days.Even when Giles says she was nearing death—the littlest reminders of her children and grandchildren gave her hope.
