Our
Kids - Our Nation is
an exquisite coffee table book that features beautiful photographs
of
Australian children. It is a unique fundraising project, aimed at raising much
needed funds towards research required to find a cure for the debilitating
disorder Muscular Dystrophy.
Our aim is
to raise $500,000 from this project.
Children
from newborn to 15 years old will be professionally photographed by an
accredited photographer. One of the images taken of each child will appear in
the Our Kids – Our Nation book. There is no cost for the photography.
All that is required is a $50.00 donation for the first child or $75.00 for all
children from the same family, to Muscular Dystrophy Australia when a child is
registered.
Muscular Dystrophy is a prominent
disorder within the wider community affecting 1 in every 1000 Australia: men, women
and children.
The disorder is most commonly found in
young boys and is a deadly progressive disorder with very few affected living
past their twenties.
The common symptom is the progressive
and irreversible muscle destruction, leading to decreased mobility and often a
shortened life expectancy.
At
Muscular Dystrophy Australia we attempt to improve the day to day lives of
people affected by this disorder, however we yearn for a day where we can tell
those affected, that they can feel safe to hope, dream, plan and conquer their
life’s ambitions and are no longer subject to a death sentence.
