About Wishbone Day

Wishbone Day is a social movement organised by people living with OI. Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a genetic condition that causes bones to break easily. OI is also known as 'brittle bones'. 

Wishbone Day is not a fundraising event.  


Wishbone Day is not an organisation or an association and has NO paid staff, sponsorship or funding contributions. Wishbone Day is the collective voice of people with OI, talking about the things that matter most to them, in their own way. 

The aim of Wishbone Day was to draw awareness to the varied lives of people with OI and the challenges and solutions to living fully.

Wishbone Day has grown to be the largest community awareness effort ever for the Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) community.  Wishbone Day is on May 6th.









Consider this your personal invitation.
Mark it down on your calendar and make Wishbone Day your own.

Wishbone Day, May 6th!

Meet Rafa Navarrete -

Hi. My name is Rafael Navarrete. I live in Seville, Spain. I have OI type IV. My father had OI. And I have a brother also with OI. I am a member of Ahuce, the Spanish association of OI. I have over 10 years working in the dissemination of OI in all Spanish speaking countries.

I am a Law graduate and work as a civil servant in local government of Andalucia on social issues.  I am married but I have no children.

Although the term "awareness" has no equivalent in Spanish, we seek the same everywhere: the best possible treatment and a better life for all.

We have celebrated Wishbone Day from the first year in 2012 and from the first moment it seemed a fantastic idea that could unite all those who have OI worldwide.  I am very proud to represent Spanish-speaking countries.  Long live the Wishbone Day!
