May 6th is a special occasion to raise awareness about Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) and spread understanding and empathy for those living with this rare disease. It is also an opportunity to honor the resilience, creativity and affirm the values ​​that the OI community brings to society.

WishBone is a genetic disorder that causes brittle, easily broken bones, often accompanied by pale whites of the eyes, hearing loss, and short stature; yet OI people continue to strive, create, and live their passion.

Originating in Australia in 2010, Wishbone Day has spread to more than 90 countries around the world, carrying the yellow color of hope - a symbol of optimism and a bright future.

Director of ACDC, Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan Anh, is a woman with brittle bone disease full of courage and resilience. She is proof of the saying "nothing is impossible". Wishing all with brittle bone disease to always overcome all limits to shine.

Please share to help ACDC raise awareness of WishBone disease in Vietnam!
