👁️ THE WEIGHT OF A ZEBRA’S TEAR: An Original Work by Benita Moyers

We are humbled to offer "The Weight of a Zebra’s Tear," a profound and evocative original acrylic painting by Moon Walk Founder, Benita Moyers.

This 8x10 canvas is more than art—it is a visual memoir of resilience. Created following Benita’s diagnosis of MDA5 Dermatomyositis, this piece captures the exact moment her world changed. Forced into early retirement from a cherished career teaching kindergarten, Benita turned to the canvas to find a new voice.

The Story Behind the Canvas: In the medical world, a "Zebra" is the symbol for rare diseases—the unexpected diagnosis doctors aren't trained to look for. In this painting, the Rare Disease Zebra is captured within a falling tear. It represents the sorrow, the physical pain, and the profound loss of identity that comes when a lifelong calling is taken away by illness.

Visual Highlights:

  • The Gaze: A strikingly detailed, soulful blue-green eye that reflects the light of a new, uncertain reality.
  • The Tear: A single, heavy tear falling from the eye, acting as a glass vessel for the "Rare" Zebra inside.
  • The Symbolism: The zebra wears a blue ribbon (the color of Myositis awareness), standing as a testament to the isolation and unique grief of the rare disease community.
  • The National Stage: This poignant piece was originally entered into the EveryDay Life’s Rare Artist national competition, marking it as a significant work in the world of patient-led advocacy art.

Why Bid? Owning this original painting means owning a piece of the founder's soul. It represents the birth of her advocacy and the strength it took to turn a personal tragedy into a global mission for a cure.


Proceeds from this original work will go toward MSU’s Financial Assistance Program, directly helping other "Zebras" navigate the weight of their own journeys.
