I'm raising awareness and funds for children with dementia.

By Tori Join Me

Tragically, hundreds of thousands of children across the world suffer from dementia. It’s caused by more than 100 life-limiting neurodegenerative disorders, many of which are not yet understood. In Australia, a baby is born every 3 days with a childhood dementia disorder from which they will die, most likely before their 18th birthday. Before they die, they live with chronic, increasingly severe symptoms. Childhood dementia causes a similar number of deaths in Australia to childhood cancer for patients aged 0-14 years. Yet most people are unaware of childhood dementia. Correspondingly, finding care and support is extremely difficult for families. Research is scant and there are no cures or treatments. Your donation supports ongoing, urgent work to accelerate research, improve care, and to make childhood dementia a health priority. Thank you for your generosity.

Steve and Michael are riding from Sydney to Bawley Point

Monday 30th Sep

Hi there.  Tragically, hundreds of thousands of children across the world suffer from dementia. It’s caused by more than 100 life-limiting neurodegenerative disorders, many of which are not yet understood.  Did you know that in Australia, a baby is born every 3 days with a childhood dementia disorder from which they will die, most likely before their 18th birthday.  Before they die, they live with chronic, increasingly severe symptoms. Childhood dementia causes a similar number of deaths in Australia to childhood cancer for patients aged 0-14 years. Yet most people are unaware of childhood dementia.  Correspondingly, finding care and support is extremely difficult for families.  Steve and I have the great pleasure to know Meg Maack and her two beautiful kids that are in this situation.  Whatever we can do to raise money we will … including riding from here to the South Coast (Bawley Point) over two days (around 150km’s per day).  The photo shown is Steve and I on our last serious ride in Tasmania … in 2022.  There has been bugger all serious riding done since this time!  So far our longest training run is 35km so I don’t think I am sugar-coating this to say it is going to be a VEEEERRRRRRYYYYY long and painful two days!

 

Your donation supports ongoing, urgent work to accelerate research, improve care, and to make childhood dementia a health priority. Thank you for your generosity.


Love, Steve and Michael
