Our Carer Peer Support online sessions are proving a great success. These informal meetings give people the opportunity to exchange ideas and to learn from the experiences of others, from meetings that help carers navigate the NDIS to peer support for younger carers.
Ivan, a member of our MND community, has shared his recipe for a delicious soup that can be modified to cater to a variety of tastes and swallowing abilities.
Ivan created this recipe to enable him to still enjoy a hearty soup with his favourite ingredients but has also allowed for his own dietary and swallowing needs.
Drawing from his personal experience of having children with autism, Tommy Hilfiger began creating Tommy Adaptive fashion in 2016. Beginning with children’s clothing, the range proved so popular that it has now expanded to adult sizing. Tommy's Adaptive clothing range for men, women and children is now available in Australia.
Resilience. Hope. Community.
When I was thinking about what to write for this edition of our newsletter, those were the words that came to mind. While the restrictions and challenges of COVID-19 have surrounded us all over the last months, what has come through is the gentle toughness of the MND Community.
Take on the ultimate challenge of the Kokoda Trail, one of the most iconic treks for Australians and you can help to raise funds and awareness for MND NSW.
This incredible challenge is about doing something amazing for yourself and for people living with MND now and in the future. Kokoda is one of the toughest treks in the world but also one of the most rewarding to take on and complete. You’ll learn about and retrace the footsteps of ANZAC soldiers in WWII as they fought off the Japanese advance towards Australia. The experience will help you raise awareness of MND while allowing you to achieve something you can brag about for the rest of your life.
