Our Ambassadors

Supporting patients across Europe

Our Ambassadors are passionate volunteers who play a key role in supporting chordoma patients in their own region. They help connect patients to local resources and each other, ensuring that no one faces this journey alone, no matter where they are. Ambassadors also share important information with hospitals to raise awareness about chordoma and help patients find local doctors who specialize in treating this rare disease.

But their efforts don’t stop there: Our Ambassadors also host online support groups where patients and families can talk, share experiences, and find comfort. They work with local organizations and doctors to improve access to care and organize events to raise awareness and funds, bringing people together in the fight against chordoma. They also helped develop our country-specific resources. Our Ambassadors are truly making a difference for chordoma patients and their families across Europe.
