Niemann-Pick Awareness Month
This October, put on your shades and help shine a light on the families behind every Niemann-Pick diagnosis.
Put On Your Shades. Share Your Perfect Day.
At our 2026 Family Support & Medical Conference, families received a pair of Silver Shades. This October, we’re inviting everyone to put them back on, or wear any pair of shades you have – as a visible reminder that behind every diagnosis is a whole family.
Then tell us: What does a perfect day look like for you and your family?
Share a photo, a story, or simply a moment that matters to you. Because sometimes the most ordinary moments — time together, a family outing, a milestone, a laugh — mean everything.
Wear your shades. Share your story. Be visible.
ALL MONTH – SHARE YOUR STORY
Put on your Silver Shades, or any pair of shades and show us what a perfect day looks like for your family. Share a photo, video, or story using #NiemannPickAwareness #NNPDF #BehindEveryPair #NPC #ASMD
OCTOBER 15 – SHINE A LIGHT
Join the Global Wave of Light at 7:00 p.m. your local time. Light a candle in remembrance, share a photo or video, and help illuminate the Niemann-Pick community around the world using #LightForNiemannPick
There’s more than one way to be visible. Choose a Niemann-Pick Awareness badge or social frame that represents your connection to the community and share it throughout October.
