So let's come together on this day to spread positivity and celebrate the strength and resilience of those living with BOS!

Bohring-Opitz Syndrome (BOS) is a genetic disorder that affects only a small number of people worldwide. By having a designated awareness day, it brings attention to this rare condition and helps educate others on its symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment.
For individuals and families living with BOS, having a designated day helps them feel less alone in their journey. It allows for connections to be made with others who understand what they are going through and provides a sense of community and support.
Designating a specific day helps to focus fundraising efforts towards finding a cure or better treatments for BOS. It also sheds light on the need for more research to be done in order to fully understand this rare genetic disorder and its impacts on those who have it.
