Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Join us on and leading up to May 7th to promote cystinosis awareness, education and fundraising efforts.

Our 7th annual awareness day campaign focuses on #CystinosisStereotypes with 3 ways go participate: share, create and/or donate.

Share.

Each day our community wakes up and challenges cystinosis stereotypes. Over the next few weeks we will be releasing examples from global cystinosis warriors calling out those stereotypes through videos, photos and personal perspectives. Please share to help shatter #CystinosisStereotypes

Create. 

Make your own video/post in response to the questions: What cystinosis stereotype are you breaking? Which do you wish to break? Once created, share with your network with #CystinosisStereotypes

Donate. 

Your Cystinosis Awareness Day donations will be TRIPLED. $10 turns into $30, $100 into $300, and so on. Support cystinosis research, family assistance and educational programming today! The match will be capped at $15,000.
