🌸 Why July 12? 🌸

We chose July because it is Graves’ Disease Awareness Month — a time dedicated to shining a light on this often misunderstood autoimmune disorder and supporting those who live with it every day.

We selected the 12th as our special day because the number 12 symbolizes completeness, unity, and community. It represents the strength we have when we come together — step by step — to raise awareness, share our stories, and support one another.

Together, July 12 becomes a powerful day to walk with purpose and show that no one faces Graves’ Disease alone.

Every step makes a difference. Let’s walk for Graves’ Disease together.

💙 Where Your $10 Registration Goes 💙

This year, your $10 registration fee goes directly toward supporting Viktoriyah, a strong and inspiring teen living with Graves’ Disease.

Your contribution will help with:

🦋 Covering medical-related expenses and care needs
🛏️ Creating a peaceful, healing space at home during her recovery
🎗️ Supporting her mental and emotional well-being
💐 Reminding her that she’s not alone — she has a whole community behind her

Every dollar goes toward helping Viki feel supported, loved, and empowered as she continues her journey with Graves’ Disease.

Thank you for walking for her, and walking with her. 💙
