Follow the yellow Wishbone Day road

We're excited to see the increased number of Wishbone Day images creeping across the world to raise awareness of OI. We love the posters and various art works being created as individual expressions of Wishbone Day.  

It is important to remember that if you are creating images using the Wishbone Day image you must link it back to Wishbone Day at http://www.wishboneday.com/

This is important to protect the Wishbone Day image/logo and how it is used, to make sure that people know how to find us and to keep Wishbone Day moving in the right direction.  

All Yellow Wishbone Day roads should lead back homehttp://www.wishboneday.com/ 

Don't forget to check out our image conditions of use.  Thanks!

On Wishbone Day, 6th May - We say STOP!

On Wishbone Day we say STOP! 

We recognise the overwhelming desire for individuals and communities to raise money to find a ‘cure’ for OI.   But on this one day -- Wishbone Day, 6th May we say stop! 

We want you to celebrate with us, not for us. We want you to recognise the strengths and abilities of those living with OI, to acknowledge challenges, celebrate successes and to recognise that there is more to OI than a cure!

Awareness really does make a difference! and it doesn't cost a cent!

Speak to a person living with OI and they will almost certainly say that their biggest challenge in life is not their OI but rather the attitudes and assumptions made about them and their life by others.

So this Wishbone Day we invite you to ‘do it differently’ -- make it your priority to share in those stories, challenge your own assumptions and make a positive difference in your community.
