The MJD Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Australia that works in partnership with Aboriginal Australians, their families, and communities affected by Machado-Joseph Disease (MJD). The organization provides comprehensive supports and engages in research to provide hope for the future. MJD is a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system and can cause progressive weakness, muscle wasting, and cognitive decline. The MJD Foundation was established in 2009 by Libby Oam and Nadia Oam, who have a personal connection to the disease. The organization has grown significantly since its inception and now has a team of 20-49 staff members, with a revenue of $1-2.5 million. The organization's mission is to support individuals and families affected by MJD, and to work towards finding a cure for the disease. The MJD Foundation has a strong presence in the Northern Territory, where the disease is most prevalent, and works closely with local communities to provide support and resources. The organization's website, mjd.org.au, provides information and resources for those affected by MJD, as well as ways for people to get involved and support the organization's mission.
The MJD Foundation helps people who have Machado-Joseph Disease, their families, and communities in Australia. They work together to provide support and do research to find a cure. They want to give hope for a better future.
