Great Idea! I hope it will help to raise awareness and also promote more Vitiligo research. I have had Vitiligo for 36 years and have dealt with many stares, questions, and thoughtless comments. Luckily I had a lot of support from my family, my husband and my friends. I am now almost completely depigmented from my vitiligo spreading on it's own. Yes, despite all of the doubters who said Vitiligo would not have turned Michael Jackson so completely white, it can and does happen! I think choosing June 25th as World Vitiligo Day is also a wonderful remembrance and tribute to Michael Jackson who spent most of his life being ridiculed and bullied by the media for something he had no control over. Thank you!

Always remember you have support from us too. We need to erase the stigma around vitiligo.
