Welcome

Welcome to the new TalkMD Awaaz Group. This group is an area which people who are a part of the Yorkshire Neuromuscular Awaaz forum, or other groups of people from around the UK, can chat and discuss topics that are important to you.

The Yorkshire Neuromuscular Awaaz Forum was devised by two mums, Nazma Chowdury from Bradford and Anisa Kothia from Dewsbury who both have sons with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and want to get to know other families affected by neuromuscular conditions in their area.

The aims of the Yorkshire Neuromuscular Awaaz Forum are:

– For families affected by NM conditions to be able to support and advise each other
– To raise awareness of the issues affecting people and the profile of neuromuscular conditions
– To help breakdown the barriers of language and culture that may prevent some families getting the best support available
– To meet as a support group on a regular basis and to encourage members to build a network that can support each other informally on an ad hoc basis

If you would like any more information about the Awaaz group please get in touch with Bobby Ancil at b.ancil@muscular-dystrophy.org or on 07920188970.
