February 20th-27th is FD/MAS Global Awareness Week.
FD/MAS Global Awareness Week is a coordinated international campaign to raise awareness of fibrous dysplasia and McCune-Albright syndrome (FD/MAS) and build support for public health and research that will improve the lives of FD/MAS patients. In 2026 we celebrate the seventh annual FD/MAS Global Awareness Week.

Celebrating in 2026
Our 2026 theme is #FDMASFoundFamily. Fibrous dysplasia, McCune-Albright syndrome (FD/MAS) is a genetic disease that affects the 20th chromosome, but it’s not a disease that we inherit from or pass on to our families!
It CAN be one where we find family–people who support us through thick and thin–whether it’s the amazing virtual community we’ve created at the Alliance, or friends, coworkers, neighbors, even a medical team etc that offer deep supportive bonds and a sense of belonging. During FD/MAS Global Awareness Week we’ll be celebrating the Found Family that supports us through our FD/MAS.
Throughout the week, we’ll have a photo and fact sharing initiative as well as several synchronous and asynchronous events! We hope you’ll join us to raise awareness and build community! Stay tuned for more updates to come!
You can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram to see the latest news, information, and initiatives.
