Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day is an annual event celebrated globally each year on January 24th — the birth date of Professor Paul Julius Moebius, the doctor who first diagnosed the condition in 1888.
In 2011, Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day was started by the Many Faces of Moebius Syndrome and has been embraced globally by other organizations that support efforts to raise awareness. The Moebius Syndrome Foundation celebrates #MSAD by sharing information about Moebius syndrome, offering financial support and resources to approved events, encouraging people to wear purple, and raising awareness through various means and channels.
Are you hosting an awareness event, at any time during the year? Please let us know the details and we will post them on our website! Email information and event pictures to jenny@moebiussyndrome.org
Rare Disease Day is the one-of-its-kind international advocacy day to bring widespread recognition of rare diseases as a global health challenge. The day is celebrated on the last day of February every year. Each year, the Moebius Syndrome Foundation partners with the National Organization for Rare Disorders, the U.S. Official Sponsoring Organization.
The Moebius Syndrome Foundation (MSF) encourages people to host informal gatherings in their area. Local gatherings provide important support and connections to those in the Moebius syndrome community. They provide information and support to individuals with Moebius syndrome and their families and promote greater awareness and understanding of Moebius syndrome.
Would you like to attend an upcoming gathering? Each event is hosted by members of the Moebius syndrome community. If you are hosting an event and want to have your event featured, e-mail info@moebiussyndrome.org.
Every day we provide free, online networks for you to easily connect with individuals and families from across the globe.
