HAVE YOU EXPLORED THE LOOP? 🧡

The Loop is more than just a resource hub — it’s about bringing our neuromuscular community together, sharing lived experiences and helping people feel informed, supported and connected.

Created by Muscular Dystrophy Foundation Australia (MDFA) in collaboration with state-based MD organisations, The Loop aims to support and empower people living with neuromuscular conditions, their families and support networks.

As a proud member of MDFA, Muscular Dystrophy Tasmania is pleased to share this valuable resource with our community 🧡

Whether you’re looking for information, practical guidance or the reassurance of shared experiences, we encourage you to take a look.

MEET ILIADA PHILIPPOU | P2P MDT PARTICIPANT

We’re thrilled to have Iliada Philippou from Toyota Australia Southern Region Office taking on the Point to Pinnacle Half Marathon in support of Muscular Dystrophy Tasmania 🧡

A passionate runner, Iliada is putting her love of running towards a meaningful goal — helping Brittney work towards greater independence, with a shared belief in making mobility accessible for all.

Inspired by Co-Op Toyota’s motto, “Mobility for All,” Iliada and the incredible team at Co-Op Toyota Hobart are putting those words into action! Their ongoing support as a Donor Champion means so much to MDT, and their incredible fundraising effort is a wonderful example of what can happen when passion, generosity and a shared goal come together. Together, they’re helping Brittney work towards greater independence and making a real difference for our community.

And Iliada is already making an incredible difference, having raised nearly $9,000 already & this is without Co-Op Toyota Hobarts generous donation & fundraising activities! What an amazing effort 👏

➡️ DONATE TO ILIADA TODAY:
https://pointtopinnacle2026.grassrootz.com/muscular-dystrophy-tasmania/iliada-philippou

Thank you, Iliada and the Co-Op Toyota Hobart team, for your generosity, commitment and for helping us create a louder voice for our community!
