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

By Allan Donnell 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.

Als Marathon

Thursday 1st Jun

 

Hi friends I am lacing up my running shoes and taking on the challenge of a marathon to make a difference in the lives of children suffering from Sanfilippo Syndrome. This devastating form of childhood dementia impacts the lives of countless families. Both of my children Isla and Jude suffer from this heartbreaking disease.

On 2nd July, I will be running the Gold Coast Marathon with the goal of raising both awareness and funds for vital research and support organizations. By participating in this endurance event, I hope to channel the strength and determination of these incredible children and their families.

Donations will directly contribute to funding groundbreaking research, clinical trials, and helping affected families. Together, we can help bring us closer to a future where children with Sanfilippo Syndrome and other forms of childhood dementia, can live full and fulfilling lives.

I invite you to be a part of this journey by making a generous donation to support my marathon fundraising efforts. Every dollar brings us one step closer to a cure. Together, we can offer hope and support to these brave children and their families. Your contribution, no matter the size, will have a profound impact.

Thank you for your support
