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. These efforts strengthened community connections, increased public understanding, encouraged research and advocacy, and reinforced the importance of a united patient voice. Together with State Associations, volunteers, artists, supporters and participants, the Myasthenia Alliance Australia celebrated an extraordinary year of awareness, engagement and lasting impact across the country.
Connect With Others Living With Myasthenia Gravis
Living with myasthenia gravis can sometimes feel isolating, but you don’t have to face it alone. Myasthenia Alliance Australia is partnering with Rare Voices Australia to offer Virtual Kitchen Table Peer Support Sessions, providing a safe and welcoming online space to connect with others who understand. Held in small groups of just 12 participants, these sessions encourage people living with rare disease disabilities and their carers to share experiences, learn practical strategies and build supportive connections. The upcoming session explores Coping with Change and Transitions. Places are limited, so early registration is encouraged.
