About Art With Heart
Join the movement to raise awareness and vital funds for Myasthenia Gravis Warriors.
Art with Heart gathers artists, community leaders and supporters for an inspiring online event of creativity, connection and philanthropy. Proceeds from the event will be directed towards MG research, patient support programs and public education campaigns to raise awareness. By supporting this event, you will play a key role in making a meaningful difference for people living with this challenging disease.
This event aims to raise both awareness and crucial funds for the national peak body, Myasthenia Alliance Australia (MAA), to continue supporting and advocating for people living with Myasthenia Gravis (MG), a rare, chronic and often misunderstood neuromuscular disease. The funds enable the MAA volunteer team to provide educational resources and events, facilitate MG-related research, project a unified voice at the national level, and raise awareness while staying connected with the patient community across Australia. To donate your item please contact us at operations@mgaq.org.au
