What is Muscular Dystrophy Foundation Australia (MDF Australia)?
Muscular Dystrophy Foundation Australia (MDF Australia) is committed to resourcing state-based muscular dystrophy associations to support people with neuromuscular disorders. MDF Australia is striving to create a cohesive and integrated MD community which operates collaboratively.
Your financial contribution will provide support services, social and recreation programs and essential research facilitated by MD associations around Australia. We rely on private and corporate donations to fund our many programs.
