Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day Testimonials:
“I was surprised by how much Jasper got out of MSAD. As a confident, bright and outgoing kid I have always felt that he just took the condition in his stride. Whilst I believe in spreading awareness, I never realized the impact having a MSAD would have on Jasper personally. The pride in his face from being the Moebius Syndrome Holiday Hero on January 24th was incredible- it dawned on me then that MSAD was important for him because it gave him the opportunity to celebrate who he is BECAUSE of Moebius syndrome not despite it. I have always tried to ensure that Jasper never feels as though he is deficient or that he needs ‘fixing’, MSAD helped to consolidate this.” – Lauren Broadhurst, Australia.
I was born in the Dark Ages ..1948.. with a disorder that I found out much later as an adult.. actually had a name …Moebius Syndrome. So the greater part of my life has been spent totally UN-WARE of what Moebius Syndrome means to anyone…especially to me! Then in 2010 with a great deal of support .. I was fortunate enough to attend my first Conference in Denver. I finally realized “my Moebius” is shared by many others AND I was no longer alone! Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day .. as every new day is for me now .. a chance to share more of myself and that “awareness” with others.
