WHO WE ARE
Meet the Team
Macayla Plummer and Nicole Caldron co-founded BehcetsAwareness.com to amplify the voices of individuals living with Behçet’s disease—an often misunderstood and misdiagnosed condition. Macayla’s advocacy was sparked after witnessing firsthand the years of mistreatment and misdiagnosis endured by someone affected by the disease. Deeply moved by this experience and the injustice it revealed, Nicole joined the mission to help create change.
Together, Macayla and Nicole lead the initiative through education, outreach, and advocacy, working to increase awareness, promote compassionate healthcare, and encourage earlier recognition of Behçet’s disease. Their dedication and leadership inspired broader support, including advisory board member Sabrina, who assisted in helping share the message with the public. As a team, they are committed to ensuring no one with Behçet’s disease feels unseen, unheard, or dismissed.

Her advocacy began after meeting someone who suffered for years due to repeated misdiagnoses and lack of medical understanding. Witnessing how poorly the disease was recognized—and how deeply that affected a person’s life—motivated Macayla to speak up. Through BehcetsAwareness.com, she aims to educate, promote earlier diagnosis, and ensure patients are heard, believed, and treated with compassion.
