The MAA which to express a very hearty thank you to every member of the Myasthenia Community, and to the family and friends who support them, for so strongly rallying behind the recent Art With Heart project.
The second Art With Heart Awareness Campaign has now been completed and the MAA Board are delighted with the outcome. There was a lovely and varied range of items made available to bidders. Hermann Pekel and Chris Searle, two renowned Australian artists, were very generous in their support of this campaign and we thank them profusely. The total number of direct donations was extremely pleasing with the proceeds to indeed assist the awareness work. These generous donors came from a wide variety of sources. This reflects that greater community awareness did occur. The MAA was able to reach out more broadly in sharing news of this project even achieving some radio time. A profit was returned, allowing the MAA to continue developing their advocacy work and ideas for a bigger campaign next time have flowed!
