💜🤍 XLH Awareness Day Light-Up Announcement 🤍💜

We're thrilled to announce another incredible Canadian landmark joining us in recognition of XLH Awareness Day on June 23rd!

This year, BC Place in Vancouver, British Columbia, will light up in purple and white to help raise awareness for X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), a rare genetic disorder that affects phosphate regulation, bone health, mobility, and overall quality of life.

An iconic part of Vancouver's skyline, BC Place is one of Canada's premier sports and entertainment venues, hosting world-class sporting events, concerts, cultural celebrations, and community gatherings. Its distinctive presence has made it a symbol of pride for Vancouver and a landmark recognized across the country.

From coast to coast, communities across Canada are helping shine a light on the experiences of individuals and families living with XLH. Seeing such a significant Canadian landmark join this growing movement is a powerful reminder that awareness matters.

💜 Thank you to BC Place for helping make XLH visible.

🌟 Stay tuned as we continue announcing more landmarks and locations lighting up across Canada for XLH Awareness Day.

If you're in Vancouver on June 23rd, be sure to snap a photo and share it with us. We'd love to see Canada glowing purple and white in support of the XLH community!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible women in our XLH community!

Today, we celebrate the moms who wear many hats: caregiver, advocate, cheerleader, and warrior. Whether you are living with XLH yourself, raising a child with XLH, or both, your strength is the backbone of this community.

To the moms navigating the journey:
🌸The Appointment Queens: Who manage the specialists, the blood draws, and the infusions with grace.
🌸The Advocates: Who ensure their children are heard in classrooms and doctor’s offices alike.
🌸The Gentle Leaders: Who teach their kids that "different" is just another word for "strong."
🌸The Rare Warriors: Who manage their own symptoms while never missing a beat for their families.

Motherhood isn't always easy, and doing it with a rare condition adds a layer of resilience that is truly extraordinary. Today, we hope you find a moment to rest, recharge, and feel the immense love you give out every single day.

Let’s get behind Indygo 💜🇦🇺

One of our very own XLHers, Indygo, is absolutely smashing it 💪

For the past 10 years, Indygo has dedicated herself to athletics—competing at national championships and taking out the national title in Para ambulant javelin for three consecutive years. Incredible.

Now, Indygo has taken a brave step—changing classification to open new pathways to the international stage… and it’s already leading to something big.

✨ Indygo has been selected to compete at the Oceania Athletics Championships in seated Shot Put, Javelin, and Discus—with the possibility of making the Australian team 🇦🇺

This is a massive milestone, not just personally, but for our whole XLH community.

As many of us know, living with XLH doesn’t make things easy—yet Indygo continues to show what strength, resilience, and determination truly look like.

💫 Getting to this level comes with significant costs—travel, accommodation, competition fees, and training.

If you’re able to support, every contribution helps. And if not, sharing this post can make a huge difference.

Let’s rally behind Indygo and show what the XLH community is all about 💜

Hi everyone, My name is Indygo, I have been doing athletics for 10 year… Indygo Prebble needs your support for Indygo Road to Oceania Athletics Championships

👧🧒 70% of genetic rare diseases, like XLH, start in childhood.

Children with XLH may face frequent surgeries, pain, and dental challenges, but with the right care and support, they can thrive.

XLH Australia provides resources and community for families navigating life with XLH.

Let’s advocate for a brighter future for every child living with a rare disease!

🤔 Did you know XLH is caused by a mutation in the PHEX gene on the X chromosome?

This leads to phosphate wasting, which affects bones and teeth, often resulting in bowed legs, dental abscesses, and fatigue. XLH Australia is dedicated to raising awareness and supporting families affected by XLH.
