About Campaign

This year the National Organization of Rare Disorders (NORD) campaign has a goal to raise awareness and show support of the rare disease community.

The zebra serves as the official mascot for rare disease patients. Historically, medical professionals were told that when they, “hear hoofbeats,” they should expect a horse, not a zebra. We now know that 1 in 10 people in the U.S. have a rare disease. It might not be obvious when you look at us, which is one reason why we ‘show our stripes, so people don’t dismiss that some patients might be zebras. Every zebra’s stripes are unique, mirroring the uniqueness and complexity of the more than 10,000 individual rare diseases, each of which impacts people in distinct ways. Dressing in zebra stripes is a way to “show up” for 30 million
Americans living with a rare disease, hence why we say .

Sadly, our APSFA Shopify is costing way more than we make, so we are closing it on June 1st. We can't justify the $300 loss per year.

We will be creating a page on our website and weeding out what we have greatly. Payments will go through PayPal.

Sadly, our APSFA Shopify store is costing us much more than we make, so we are closing it on June 1st. We can't justify the $300 annual loss.

Credit to Migraine is not a headache.

It’s a complex neurological disease that affects the brain and nervous system every day, even between attacks.

For too long, migraine has been minimized as “just bad head pain” or something that can be fixed with rest, water, or one pill. That misunderstanding fuels stigma, delays diagnosis, and leaves people without proper care.

Migraine attacks can last hours to days, involve far more than pain, and are a leading cause of disability worldwide.

Education matters because when we understand migraine for what it really is, we replace dismissal with compassion and better care.

💬 What do you wish more people understood about migraine?

Credit to This is a reminder that you are absolutely, 100%, deserving of being in the hands of a doctor who cares, who wants the best for you, and who does everything in their power to help. You deserve a doctor who never gaslights you, and takes everything you say seriously. 🩵
