February 29th

The zebra was chosen to represent rare disease based on a quote from Dr. Theodore Woodward: “When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras.” and “When you hear hoofbeats behind you, don’t expect to see a zebra.” Dr. Woodward used this metaphor to teach the diagnosis of diseases.

To help our community celebrate Rare Disease Day, we are inviting Meadowlark families, students and staff to wear stripes on Thursday, February 29th, in celebration of Rare Disease Day.

Please share your Rare and show off your stripes to the photo Link
