About the DSRCT Initiative
Stronger Together.
When DSRCT enters a family’s life, it arrives with fear, uncertainty, and isolation. The DSRCT Initiative is a global community connecting families through shared knowledge, support, and advocacy, so no one walks this road by themselves.

Use it for your favorite beverage or soup or broth.
• Material: Enamel
• Dimensions: height 3.14″ (8 cm), diameter 3.25″(8.25 cm)
• Lead and BPA-free material
• White coating with a silver rim
• Hand-wash only
• Blank product sourced from China
Attention! Don't heat liquids or food directly in the mug—it can damage the coating.
Disclaimer: The Enamel Mug is susceptible to staining when used with certain beverages, including coffee, tea, and natural juices. That’s a normal characteristic of enamel products and not specific to our mug alone. Due to the enamel’s rough and porous surface texture, particles from these drinks may easily adhere to the mug, resulting in stains over time. Stains can be effectively removed by applying lemon juice or soda to the affected area and gently scrubbing with a hard sponge.
Get rid of all the plastic and pack your goodies in this spacious organic cotton tote bag. Fill it up with groceries, books, and travel essentials—there’s room for everything!

DSRCT Community Artist & Inspiration, Gianna Cericola
“Hi, I’m Gianna. I’m a graphic designer and content creator sharing my journey with DSRCT. Diagnosed in October 2024 at the age of 27, I am now 29 and I’ve been NED (no evidence of disease) since June 2025, and I use my platform to raise awareness, inspire others facing this diagnosis, and offer hope. Through my content, I show that a diagnosis doesn’t define the whole story. There is always hope and you are not alone.”
