Awareness

My Birthmark. My Story.

The VBF International Month of Awareness for Vascular Birthmarks, Anomalies and Syndromes is in May and the VBF Day of Awareness is on May 15, marked by US Congressional Resolution. Join our virtual movement as people around the world promote acceptance of birthmarks and raise funds to help bring those who need treatment together with the experts who can help them. Together, we continue the movement.
