Wow! Can you believe it is February already?  We all know what happens in February – Valentine’s Day, Ground Hog Day, the Super Bowl.

But more importantly, it is Ectodermal Dysplasias Awareness Month, #EDAM2016.  This month, we are striving to raise the positive awareness of this condition which affects an estimated 2 in 10,000 births.

The 2016 theme is “Be Heard. Inspire Others. Be Yourself.”  We encourage you to always NFED-Profile-FebBE YOURSELF and do not let ectodermal dysplasias define you.  We have a memorable month planned but we still need one key ingredient: YOU!

We need you to Speak Up for Ectodermal Dysplasias! We have the tools and resources to make your participation easy and free.

Please check out the Ectodermal Dysplasias Awareness Month Page on the NFED website for details.  Here are some ways you can BE HEARD while you INSPIRE OTHERS:
