AMEND’s children’s resources were produced in the UK in 2013/2014.  The aim was to produce resources that could be easily understood by children as young as 5 years of age.  The cartoons and comic books can be used to help the youngest of patients to understand a little about their condition, and why hospital tests are needed, and also to help unaffected siblings to understand what their brother, sister or parent is going through.  All our resources are free to patients.

Daniel has MEN1 and Lisa has MEN2. With the help of their pet cats and animated friends, they explain their conditions simply.

Using stories from real-life young patients, these comic books are colourful and beautifully illustrated to help explain MEN1 and MEN2A & B in a little more detail than the cartoons. Hard copies can be ordered for FREE from AMEND USA and are sent automatically to new members.  To order your copy, complete the online order form below.
