💡 Light the Globe for Myasthenia Gravis

On June 2, landmarks around the world will glow teal in recognition of Myasthenia Gravis (MG), a rare autoimmune neuromuscular disease that affects how muscles respond to nerve signals.

We’re inviting our community to take part too. Light up your home, porch, or window in teal to show support for those living with MG. Whether it’s string lights, a simple bulb, or a teal ribbon on your door, every light helps raise visibility for this rare disease.

Also, make sure to check out Downtown Chicago buildings for a glimpse of teal!

📸 If you participate or spot a teal landmark, snap a photo, tag us, and use . Let’s come together to shine a light on MG and the community behind it.
