The Impact of O.I. Awareness Week 2025: #OILife in Action

O.I. Awareness Week 2025 – The #OILife Impact Report

Every May, the O.I. community comes together to educate, celebrate, and spread awareness about Osteogenesis Imperfecta — and this year, #OILife went all in.

Through virtual events, powerful content, and movement-focused experiences, we set out to spread awareness, gain acceptance, and share the awesomeness that is O.I. The results were incredible — and the impact is still being felt.

Here’s what we accomplished together during O.I. Awareness Week 2025.

💬 Meaningful Moments

“The most meaningful part of the week for me was the fact that so many people came and participated in movement/workout sessions and were excited to do so. It’s proving further that movement is important for the O.I. community, and we’re making it a priority by finding safe ways to move.” – Tony Jacobsen

And the love didn’t stop there:

💬 “Excellent session, Tony!”
💬 “Thank you so much, Tony!”
💬 “What a fun night!”
💬 “This is why we connect!”

#OILife continues to grow as a trusted, fun, and powerful voice in the O.I. space — and the community is embracing it more than ever before.


💪 Looking Ahead

This week proved what we already knew — movement matters. And when it’s safe, inclusive, and adaptive, it becomes a celebration of life, not just a workout.

We’re just getting started. Thank you to everyone who participated, shared, danced, downloaded, or just showed up to support.

Let’s keep living the #OILife.
