Emma found a community, support and connection.
Emma was diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) at age 12 after years of uncertainty. Her condition affects her muscles and movement, meaning everyday activities and school can be a challenge.
With support from Muscular Dystrophy Australia, Emma has been able to access vital programs like Camp MDA, where she makes friends, builds confidence, and participates in activities tailored to her needs. Debbie, her mum, says:
“Emma loved spending time at Camp MDA. She grew in confidence and plans to attend again next year. The camp was fantastic, with carers and medical staff ensuring every child was well supported.”
Emma’s journey shows just how much difference the right support can make. From programs for young children to initiatives like MDA InnovAITe, which helps teens and young adults connect, build skills, and explore new technology, MDA ensures children and families have the resources to live fuller, more independent lives.
