The Young Ones Spin Kids had an awesome day out yesterday exploring the Botanic Gardens doing a scavenger hunt!

There were all sorts of treasures to find — from colourful flowers and giant leaves to birds, bats, and ancient trees. Everyone got involved, ticking off their lists and spotting all sorts of surprises along the way. Even the grown-ups got involved!

It was a great way to spend time together, enjoy the sunshine, and have a laugh. Thanks to everyone who came along and made it such a fun day.

We’re so proud to share something very special from one of our community legends – Charlie, who has created his very own recipe book!

As part of his final school project, he decided to collect his family’s treasured recipes and turn them into a cookbook that could be shared with others – especially those living with DMD or similar challenges. With support from DMD Consulting, Charlie thoughtfully included his own tips and tricks for cooking that offers practical guidance for others who may be navigating fatigue, mobility limitations, or fine motor difficulties.

A recipe book from one of our participants. Charlie, a 17-year-old living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, created this book as part of his Year 12 Studies. With a deep appreciation for his family’s recipes and a passion for food, Charlie wanted to make sure these treasured meals were preserved,

World Duchenne Awareness Day 2025 - Thank You! ❤️

As many will know, we recently had such a special day celebrating World Duchenne Awareness Day 2025 with our community & we wanted to share a little snapshot from the event! 🎥

Thanks to lots of hard work from all of our team and our close friend and superstar Physio Kerrie over at Reach for the Stars Therapy Services, we were able to bring everyone together for a big family BBQ and afternoon of connection, laughter, and plenty of food😊🍩

It was such a joy to celebrate, not just to raise awareness for Duchenne & Becker, but to bring our wider neuromuscular community that we’re so lucky to be a part of together. Even though we may not provide services to everyone who came along, we want you to know how much we appreciated seeing every single one of you there.

And yes - we definitely loved the sea of red 😆❤️ Everyone looked fantastic in true WDAD spirit. We would love to hear from you all about the day; whether there were any favourite moments or memories, or ideas for next year's celebration, feel free to share in the comments below!

Thank you again for supporting this special day with us 🎈
