DADA2 ...or...DADA2TOO!! Every patient has a story, and as we kick off our 10th anniversary, we're telling them. More than a Dx, these patients live full lives while navigating disease. Today we feature Amber Whitmer...how does she spend her days? Take a look...

Are you a physician? Do you know about DADA2? You are a key part of #dada2awareness so more patients are identified & treated before the #inflammation takes its toll on a body. Share this post today & learn more - we have resources specifically for docs! dada2.org/doctors-researcher…

It's DADA2 Awareness Day. DADA2 mimics diseases. Recurrent fevers often dismissed as normal kid illness. Studies estimate 35,000 patients globally - only 800 known today. Rest are un/misdiagnosed. Let's post for every patient - 800 posts today & change the story. #dada2awareness

DADA2 Awareness Day is 7/31. GOAL: a post from each of us for every one of the 800+ patients we know of today. 800 posts about DADA2. 1 day. How we'll get there: 📷Pick an image & share it #️⃣Use the hashtag #dada2awareness 📷Share images so friends & fam can post Let's go!

Collaboration runs on a spectrum. For DADA2, one side of the spectrum is patient-driven, honoring loved ones through a first-ever DADA2 Awareness Day 7/31. The other side is research now entering mammalian animal model work. Latest newsletter shows both: dada2.org/dada2-awareness-da…
