"My time at camp shaped me as a person!" - Juliette, living with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease]( [Give Now]( Dear {NAME}, People often ask me what the best part about camp is. Right away, I think of joyful kids flying through the air on a zipline or the happy chaos of a dance party. But the best best part? That has to be the transformation we see in campers. On day one, a lot of kids are nervous — scared to be away from home and family for the first time. Fast forward to the last day, and the difference is incredible: After a week at camp, they are bubbling over with newfound confidence and optimism! That’s because, through your support, MDA Summer Camp shows kids and young adults that they are not defined by the conditions they live with. They can do anything. It just takes a little help from a compassionate community like ours! [Send Kids to MDA Summer Camp]( As a child, Juliette had a tough time with her Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) diagnosis. The muscle weakness, the leg braces, the wheelchair … it all made her feel so lonely. “I would have traded bodies with anyone else,” she remembers. Then, Juliette came to MDA Summer Camp … and everything changed. She met other kids her age who lived with disabilities — and together, they conquered the swimming pool, board games, the annual carnival, and much more! “[MDA Camp is] a community full of love that will take you on the greatest adventure of all,” she says today. “I learned so much about my own strengths and passions. I also learned that I could do hard things and overcome challenges!” Now 17, Juliette is going to college to become a social worker — a goal inspired by her time at camp. [{NAME}, you can help more campers like Juliette find their strength and blossom into confident, independent young people. Please give today to send kids living with neuromuscular disease to MDA Summer Camp!]( Gratefully, [Alicia Dobosz] Alicia Dobosz Executive Vice President Community Engagement [Give Now]( [MDA]( [Donate Now]( [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [YouTube]( [Instagram]( [LinkedIn]( [MDA.org]( © 2024 Muscular Dystrophy Association, Inc..
