At the end of January 2021, we participated in a virtual meeting of the Alpha-1 Children's Centers and discussed with the doctors what we could do together for young people with AATM. This led to the idea of designing a flyer for teenagers together with the team of Prof. Rainer Ganschow from the University Hospital Bonn, as such a flyer had been lacking for a long time.
No sooner said than done: the Bonn team, especially here
Joelle Lemke and I really put our hearts into it and designed a thoroughly informative and appealing flyer. Together we refined it and had suitable illustrations created for the cover.
Then the project was put on hold for a while because we had many other things and tasks to manage in order to keep the association running smoothly during the pandemic. Events were planned and then cancelled, we continued to be involved in important political issues, and the coronavirus kept us constantly occupied – in short: the flyer slipped out of our focus.
This was unacceptable! So, in the autumn, we tackled the issue again intensively and completed it after further consultation with the children's centers.
We are pleased to announce that the youth flyer is now available for download and will soon also be available in print.
We would like to sincerely thank Ms. Lemke, the team at the University Hospital Bonn, and Prof. Ganschow for their excellent work on this flyer. It's wonderful that we consistently receive such outstanding support from professionals, resulting in continuous added value for you. We hope you enjoy reading it and feel free to share this flyer with anyone affected.
