This meeting is an informal meeting where you will have the opportunity to ask any questions, share your stories with other family members who understand the difficult journey called CJD and link in with other family members for mutual support.

For those of you who have attended meetings and conferences in the past we hope that you will also come along to help us to support the new families who unfortunately continue to have their lives touched by this monster of a disease.

For those who could not join us for the 12th Annual National CJD Conference this is a good opportunity to get an update on prion disease research in Australia and around the world.

The 1800 052466 will be diverted to my mobile in case you need to make contact on the day of the meeting.
