The Project - Our Kids Our Nation

OUR KIDS OUR NATION is an exquisite coffee table book that features our Australian children. It is a unique fund-raising project for Muscular Dystrophy Australia.

Children from newborn to 15 years old will be professionally photographed by an accredited photographer. One of the images taken of your child will be guaranteed to 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 you register.

Muscular Dystrophy Australia - Making a Difference

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 irreversible muscle destroying disorder with very few affected living past their twenties.

There are over 60 neuromuscular disorders; with Duchenne MD being the most prominent.

There is NO CURE and 100% fatality rate, so the odds for people affected with this debilitatitng disorder are not good.

Muscular Dystrophy is a devastating, debilitating muscle destroying disorder,  it  is also an emotionally- challenging one.  MD is the number one genetic killer of boys worldwide and there is currently no cure.

The harsh reality of muscular dystrophy begins for a child when they are diagnosed between the ages of 2- 5. With an intensifying weakness of muscles, the child generally loses their ability to walk between the ages of 8 – 12, relying on an electric wheelchair and 24/7 care. The heart and breathing muscles are affected by their late teens, with the deterioration becoming more evident as each day passes. Muscular Dystrophy is lethal in its attack and vicious with its intensity.
