🌟 ‼️TBCK DAY SHIRTS — 2026 EDITION! ‼️🌟
No one fights alone — let’s show our stripes together.

We’re getting ready for our 2026 TBCK Day shirts, and it’s time to gather ALL warrior names once again. If you would like your warrior included on the back of this year’s shirt, please comment their name below.

This shirt has become such a powerful symbol of our community. A reminder that even though we are spread across the world, we are united by a gene and a shared fight.

In the TBCK community, no one fights alone.
Let’s honor every warrior, every family, and every story.

Parenting a child with a rare genetic disorder can feel overwhelming — but no parent should ever have to walk that journey alone. 💛

In her new book, Rare Mamas: Empowering Strategies for Navigating Your Child’s Rare Disease, rare mom and advocate Nikki McIntosh shares wisdom, emotional support, and practical tools to help families feel seen, supported, and connected through the challenges of rare disease life.

At the TBCK Foundation, we believe in empowering parents with the resources, education, and community they need to advocate for their children. Nikki’s book beautifully reflects that mission — reminding all of us that strength grows when we lift each other up.

You can find Rare Mamas wherever books are sold, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Bookshop.org, and Target. 📚✨
