Our Story

This is more than a story about a condition.

It is a story about Teddy: his personality, his determination, his adventures and all the joy he brings to the people around him. It is also the story of Char Char, the carer who has become his trusted companion, biggest cheerleader and partner in fun.

"Moebius Syndrome may affect Teddy's facial movement, but it could never hide his personality."

Awareness

What is Moebius Syndrome?

Moebius Syndrome is a rare neurological condition that is present from birth. It primarily affects the nerves controlling facial movement and side-to-side eye movement.

Facial Movement

The condition can affect facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, blinking or raising the eyebrows.

Eyes & Vision

Some people with Moebius Syndrome cannot move their eyes fully from side to side and may turn their head to follow objects.

Speech & Feeding

The condition can also create challenges with feeding, swallowing, speech and control of the muscles around the mouth.

Every Person Is Different

Moebius Syndrome affects every individual differently. A person's facial movement does not determine their emotions, personality or understanding.

Teddy feels happiness, excitement, love and every other emotion. He may simply express them differently.

This information is provided for general awareness and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.

Look beyond

A smile is more than a facial expression.

It can be heard in a laugh, seen in someone's eyes, felt in a hug and shared in a moment of pure joy. Teddy reminds us to look beyond expressions and take the time to understand how every person communicates.

Fundraising

Helping Teddy reach his full potential
