For Include a Charity Week, we're celebrating the lasting impact a gift in your Will can make for future generations of Australians living with neuromuscular conditions.

Supporters like Gary choose to leave a gift in their Will as a reflection of their values, helping create a brighter future for others. For Gary, it was a way to ensure the cause he cares about continues to make a difference long into the future.

Read Gary's story over on our blog, and learn more about leaving a gift in your Will, or to access a free online will-writing service visit https://mda.org.au/leaveagiftinyourwill

Today, is World Duchenne Awareness Day, and we join the global Duchenne community in recognising that access changes lives.

Access to timely diagnosis, specialist care, support, inclusive education and opportunities to participate in everyday life can positively impact people living with Duchenne and their families. Access is more than healthcare. It's about removing barriers, creating inclusive communities and ensuring every person has the opportunity to participate fully in life.

At Muscular Dystrophy Australia, we are passionate about creating a future where every person living with Duchenne has access to the support, opportunities and inclusion they deserve.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads, grandfathers, stepdads, father figures and caregivers in our community. 💙 Today, we celebrate the love, strength and support you bring to the lives of those around you every day.

We're especially grateful for initiatives like Super Dads MD Walk , a community-driven fundraising event founded by the wonderful Bugeja family.

Run by local dads and friends, these Super Dads 🦸 are setting a wonderful example of the difference fathers and father figures can make when they come together for a cause.
