Founded in 2009, The Many Faces of Moebius Syndrome is the largest all volunteer Moebius Syndrome organization in the world. Prior to the popularity of social media, our founder Tim Smith, Gavin Fouche, Donnie Downs, and a few others pioneered the internet and brought the online global Moebius Syndrome community together one family at a time. 

 

In 2009 we started collecting personal stories from the global Moebius Syndrome community and now house the world's largest selection in our story archives.

 

On January 24, 2011, Many Faces of Moebius Syndrome founded Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day which has grown to become a Global Day of Celebration held on January 24th of each year.

​

From 2009 through most of 2019 the Many Faces of Moebius Syndrome was not a non-profit. We were a group of individuals who worked well together and proved that it doesn't take money to achieve great heights. Just determination and a lot of hard work. During that time period we founded MSAD, built the global moebius syndrome community, held events, and much more. To learn more, visit our Accomplishments & Milestones pages. 

 

From late 2019 to the beginning of 2024, we were a nonprofit and accomplished much. We hosted Riders for Moebius, and Camp Moebius. We provided Christmases for families in the global Moebius syndrome community in need. We supplied medical supplies for Moebius syndrome families. We sent out new parent welcome kits around the globe. In early 2024 the Many Faces of Moebius Syndrome board unanimously voted to dissolve the nonprofit and donate our proceeds to the Moebius Syndrome Foundation.

 

Dissolving the nonprofit didn't mean we are closing our doors. Just doing a little restructuring. Instead of having a Many Faces of Moebius Syndrome board of directors we have formed an all-Moebius Syndrome council to oversee the workings of the MFOMS. Tim Smith will be our council, President. A position he has held since the MFOMS was founded in 2009. Gavin Fouche who served as Vice President from 2011 through 2020 has returned to his old position. Welcome back Gavin. Sophie Jones who was part of the MFOMS in the early days is rejoining us to help with upcoming projects and more. Welcome back Sophie. Teri Brown Goodwin is joining us and will be overseeing our social media groups. Welcome on board Teri.

 

Our mission is to create a better tomorrow for ourselves and our children living with Moebius Syndrome. We believe everyone deserves the chance to live their best life, and we are committed to making that a reality for individuals and families affected by Moebius Syndrome by fostering a robust and supportive community.
