Zebras are a symbol of rare diseases and conditions.
No two zebras are alike, just like the experiences of those in the rare disease and Rett syndrome communities. When zebras come together, they form a dazzle – a powerful collective made stronger by every individual stripe. Each unique zebra added to the Rare Dazzle represents a story, a voice, and a shared commitment to standing together as a community. Because when we unite, something truly dazzling happens.
