Moyamoya Australia

Not all disabilities are visible, and the Sunflower lanyard has become a welcome tool for those with hidden disabilities, like Moyamoya Disease. If you see this lanyard, it means that the person wearing it may need a little more time, empathy, compassion, or understanding.

It’s Invisible Disabilities Week (19–25 October)! 🌻💛

It’s estimated that around 80% of disabilities are non-visible. These can include neurological, cognitive, sensory, mental health and chronic conditions that aren’t always immediately apparent.

Not all disabilities are visible, but a little understanding and kindness can go a long way in helping everyone feel seen, understood and supported.

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower helps people with non-visible disabilities discreetly indicate that they may need additional support, understanding or patience. 🌻

We had an idea, we phoned some friends, and our World Moyamoya Day Celebrity video was born. We could not have done this without the support of Ben Day and Troy Gray, and you better believe that we are working towards bigger this year! Together, we can find the CAUSE of this rare disease, achieve earlier diagnosis, and ensure that our warriors have a better prognosis! What a team!

We are taking our search for the Cause of Moyamoya Disease to the International Stage, having been named as Finalist for the The Stevie Awards for Women in Business! We have been named in 3 categories, and this means that we have ALREADY WON either Bronze, Silver or Gold, having scored a minimum of 8/10 in all 3 categories. The leverage that this will garner for us is just incredible. We MUST find the genetic link, so that other families can better address how to manage their journey with Moyamoya Disease.
