Vasculitis Awareness
Welcome to Vasculitis Awareness Month: #VAM2025
May is Vasculitis Awareness Month, a time dedicated to spotlight vasculitis, a diverse set of conditions characterized by inflammation of blood vessels, which can affect individuals of any age, gender, or ethnicity. For #VAM2025, we’re celebrating the power of connections – the vital links between patients, healthcare providers, and support systems that transform lives. Through education, advocacy and support, we aim to raise awareness about the various forms of vasculitis, promote early detection, and raise critical funds to improve the quality of life for those living with vasculitis.
This year, we’re honored to share Joshua Roberts’ remarkable journey from hospice care to hope through the power of VF connections. Watch his inspiring story in the video to the right, and discover how the Vasculitis Foundation’s network of support transformed his life. Read our full Spring Appeal letter here to learn how your support creates life-changing connections for patients like Joshua.
Community Heroes is designed to uplift the vasculitis community, whether care partners or people living with vasculitis. These heroes embody resilience or are champions in the vasculitis community, creating connections that build a stronger community. These stories are designed to raise vasculitis awareness around the globe. To learn more about Vasculitis Foundation’s Community Heroes, click here.
