Raising Awareness of Rare Diseases
In recognition of Rare Disease Month and Day, Acadia is assembling a dazzle of zebras to celebrate the strength, resilience, and individuality of the rare disease community.
Join us in our goal to build the largest Rare Dazzle of purple zebras to start conversations and raise awareness of rare diseases and Rett syndrome.
Zebras are a symbol of rare diseases and conditions.
No two zebras are alike, just like the experiences of those in the rare disease and Rett syndrome communities. When zebras come together, they form a dazzle – a powerful collective made stronger by every individual stripe. Each unique zebra added to the Rare Dazzle represents a story, a voice, and a shared commitment to standing together as a community. Because when we unite, something truly dazzling happens.
Join our Rare Dazzle:
- Download your zebra here. Design it and give it a unique name – make it your own!
- Upload your photo to the Rare Dazzle Mosaic.
- Note, photos must only feature your designed zebra. Please do not include yourself or any other people. Backgrounds such as buildings, nature, or landmarks are welcome. Once your zebra joins the Dazzle, use the built-in sharing feature in the mosaic and post your zebra on your social media using #RareDazzle.
- The fun doesn’t need to stop here - bring your zebra along on adventures, vacations, errands - anywhere! Snap pictures and continue to add them to the mosaic to show how far our Dazzle can go.
