Awareness raising for Myasthenia Gravis in 2026 has been a huge success.
Communities across Australia made 2026 a landmark year for Myasthenia Gravis awareness. From the inaugural Brisbane Walk for Myasthenia Gravis Awareness and iconic landmarks illuminated in teal, to inspiring community events, fundraising campaigns and the nationwide Art With Heart initiative, thousands of Australians helped raise awareness and support those living with MG.
