🦴 What is Osteogenesis Imperfecta?

Osteogenesis Imperfecta (O.I.), aka Brittle Bone Disease, is a rare deal. It’s not just about fragile bones—this thing’s a collagen disorder. We’ve spotted about 18 different types of O.I. out there. And let me tell you, the severity? Well, that can swing big time, even within each type.

Living with O.I. isn’t a walk in the park, that’s for sure. It brings its own set of challenges, but you know what’s incredible? People worldwide are really making it work! They’re thriving and doing their thing, showing that O.I. won’t hold them back.

The Pillars of #OILife

Preserving the Past, Designing The Future

We honor the legacy of the Osteogenesis Imperfecta community, learning from past challenges and triumphs to inform a future filled with innovation, inclusivity, and empowerment.

Rooted in Community

We’re strongest when we’re connected. From monthly gatherings to shared stories and celebrations, community is the heartbeat of #OILife.

Awareness with Impact

We go beyond yellow shirts and hashtags. We educate, advocate, and activate — making sure the world sees O.I. not just as a diagnosis, but as a dynamic and diverse community.

Authenticity & Visibility

Every story matters. We amplify real voices and lived experiences — visible and invisible, loud and quiet — to ensure no one with O.I. feels alone or misunderstood.

Strength in Diversity

O.I. affects each of us differently, and that’s our strength. We celebrate all types, all bodies, all stories — standing together to support and uplift one another.

Creative Empowerment

From art and music to adaptive sports and storytelling, we embrace creativity as a powerful tool for expression and advocacy.

Join an #OILife GROUP Meeting!

The #OILife GROUP meeting is the ultimate social spot for the O.I. community! We’re all about diving deep into the topics that truly enhance the quality of life for everyone in the O.I. crew.

Imagine this: you, me, and folks from around the world, all hanging out in a Zoom room, sharing insights and experiences, and having fun while doing it! It’s that awesome! Each meeting features a focused topic that we explore together, but we also keep the floor open for everyone to voice what’s on their mind and share what’s going on in their lives.

Mark your calendar for the 3rd Wednesday of each month, because that’s when the magic happens. We kick off at 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT. It’s your monthly dose of connection, support, and growth with our incredible O.I. community. See you there!
