    The Beads of Courage Zebra Bead
    The Zebra is the official symbol of rare diseases in the United States.  No two zebras have identical stripes which makes each one rare and unique. Preferring to be in groups, the zebra reminds us of the value of our community. We hope the Zebra Bead provides you with encouragement while facing the challenges of a rare disease and that you find love and support from your community.
