Vitiligo can effect any race, any age, any gender, anywhere... There is no known cure for Vitiligo. Until we have one, we must educate people about this disease so those effected with it are not discriminated against.

Imagine people staring at you everywhere you go.

Imagine people whispering as you walk by.

Imagine paying for your groceries at the store and having the cashier pull their hand away from yours in fear.

Imagine people afraid to touch you because it might be contagious.

This is Vitiligo. Patients live with this EVERY day.

Now imagine spending time with people who have similar experiences to yours.
Imagine no one caring what your skin looks like.

Imagine people not being afraid to "catch" what you have because they know better.

Imagine being able to explain to your teachers, friends and family exactly what vitiligo is.

Imagine having hope.

This is The AVRF.
