Ask Me About Dystonia Buttons Available Now
It’s the ultimate conversation starter—the “Ask Me About Dystonia” button.

These buttons are now available on the DMRF store in the following quantities:
- 1 button: $3.00

Wear one on your clothing or backpack—and share them with family and friends—to initiate dialogue about dystonia. Stay tuned for more details on how you can educate others about dystonia during Dystonia Awareness Month in September and throughout the year.
