Hi! Welcome all new visitors.

We’ve just sent out information flyers to 14-19 year old teenagers via Princess Margaret Hospital for Children, Perth and the Women’s and Children’s Hospital, Adelaide.

We’re hearing young peoples’ voice in research. Teenagers in this study are describing life with a neuromuscular condition (NMD). Teenagers and young adults are also talking about their thoughts of health, wellbeing and learning to get ready for adulthood.

If you’d like more information about this study, e-mail Vivienne directly on mylifemyvoice@nd.edu.au, ring or sms on +61 415 301 635.

THANK YOU to all teenagers who’ve completed the questionnaires over the Summer and start of Term! We hope the first quarter of the year has gone well for all.. We’ve had some really good discussion, learnt heaps, made new connections amongst teens with similar experiences, and received gift vouchers 🙂 . The blog counter  is updated so you can see who’s taking part.

Have a fantastic run up to Easter and all the April activities, including MD camps across the country (SA, VIC, NSW and QLD), Duke of Ed Awards (WA, SA , NSW),  ANN and MD NZ Conference and good luck to all at the National Electric Wheelchair Sports games in Sydney!

If you’d like to be a part of or help out with this research, please e-mail mylifemyvoice@nd.edu.au.

Welcome to all new MyLifeMyVoice research participants, and to teenagers and families receiving the information via MDNSW and MDQLD. Thank you to Loretta and Susan for passing on the info!

We hope you’ve been having really good summer holidays with family and friends. We’ve also enjoyed a bit of ‘down-time’ with our families to start off 2015  and are looking forward to a good year ahead.

We’ll be recruiting well into the latter part of this year. Have a browse of the “About taking part” pages to see who’s already connected with this research. Contact mylifemyvoice@nd.edu.au if you’d like to join.

Best wishes for the start of school, uni and post-school in the next weeks!
