Our Membership
Our support group—for people affected by Leukodystrophy—is well
supported by a bunch of ‘ordinary’ Australians. But, without
the volunteer support of our members, our organisation could not continue
to do the job it does so well. Each and every one of the ALDS members
contributes to the ALDS in ways that make a difference.
Our membership of more than 200 people is diverse and includes people from Australian cities, towns and farms. In fact, some of our members are our regional neighbours who live as far away as New Zealand and South East Asia.
Some members may be directly affected by a leukodystrophy, or they may have a relative or friend who is affected by one of many different types of leukodystrophy.
A smaller, but important part of the ALDS membership is drawn from those families and individuals who have lost someone they loved to a Leukodystrophy. Currently we have members from16 different types of Leukodystrophy, including the ‘undiagnosed’ category.
Another essential group of members is the category of ‘Financial Supporters’. These wonderful people join the ALDS because they want to assist our support group to continue in its vital work of supporting people who are affected by this disease. We welcome one and all!
