The bike is here!!!! 😍😍

We competed against hundreds of families across the US and Canada and Arturo was the most voted in his category.

That means so many people took the time to vote for our boy!
And don’t even get us started on our friends, family and cousins who went all in to help us get first place! 💕💕
This bike is not just a prize, it’s movement, it’s therapy, it’s joy for his little body.

We are truly beyond grateful for all the support!! It’s amazing to see how many incredible people are in our corner.

Thank you so much!!! ✨💕✨

🧠 What is Canavan disease?

Canavan disease is a rare genetic disorder that affects the brain’s white matter, which is essential for communication between brain cells.

Because it is so rare, many people and even some healthcare professionals have never heard of it, which can make diagnosis difficult for many families.

Canavan disease is estimated to affect about 1 in 100,000 to 200,000 people worldwide, making it one of the many conditions considered a rare disease.

Today there is still no cure, and treatments focus mainly on supportive care while researchers continue working to better understand the disease and develop future therapies.

Sharing information helps make rare diseases more visible. 🦓

Why is the zebra the symbol of rare diseases? 🦓

In medicine, doctors are often taught: “When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras.”
In other words, look for common conditions first.

But sometimes… it really is a zebra.

The zebra also reminds us that no two zebras have the same pattern of stripes, just like no two rare disease journeys are the same.

A disease is considered rare when each individual condition affects fewer than 1 in 2,000 people. Yet there are more than 7,000 rare diseases, and when taken together they affect millions of families around the world.

In the United States alone, it is estimated that about 1 in 10 people live with a rare disease and many more are still undiagnosed or misdiagnosed.

Rare diseases may be individually rare, but together they are not.

Today we help make rare visible.
💛 Share to raise awareness.

Today is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
At Hakuna Matata we don’t raise awareness from the outside. We live this from the inside.

Disability is part of our everyday.
It’s in the way we plan, move, adapt and love.
It shows up in feeding tubes, speech devices, accessible strollers and bedtime routines.

It’s not always visible.
It’s not a flaw.
It’s not something to pity.

It’s a part of life.
And it deserves to be included, respected and celebrated. Not just today, but every day.

If this is your everyday too, we see you. 💕
We’re with you.
We built this space for you.
