The ALDS plays an important role in supporting those affected by Leukodystrophy which is a group of rare genetic disorders that affect the central nervous system. In most instances, these disorders are progressive and symptoms often include loss of muscle tone, blindness and other debilitating factors. Unfortunately at this stage there is no cure for this cruel genetic condition, although research into Leukodystrophy continues.

ALDS celebrated their 17th Anniversary on the 17th August 2009. Sr. Julie Thomas launched this support group 17 years ago and on that day there was a lot of media coverage both on television and newspapers. We are pleased to announce that this milestone has been acknowledged with an editorial in the Leader Mordialloc/Chelsea local paper.
