Book Release

By Events, News

Some of you will remember Amanda Bradley Kalinsky who came all the way to Australia for our Family Conference in 2014 to talk about her experience with Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). Amanda carries a mutation for GSS (a genetic form of prion disease) that she inherited from her father and she is determined not to pass that mutation onto her children.

Amanda has written a book- Mercies in Disguise: A Story of Hope, a Family’s Genetic Destiny, and the Science That Rescued Them– to be released on March 21st, 2107 and it tells the amazing story of Amanda and her family.

Sue’s Angels run 2016 Gold Coast Marathon

By Events, Fundraising

Join Sue’s Angels and participate in the 2016 Gold Coast Marathon on the 2nd and 3rd of July, 2016.

news_suesangels
Participate in the full marathon, half marathon, 10km or 5.7km run, sporting team shirts to raise awareness for the rapidly debilitating Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease that so sadly cut Sue’s life short on March 25th 2015.

Sue lost her life to this horrible disease, yet so little is known about CJD. It is a one in a million terminal Prion Disease that rapidly attacks the brain and has no treatment and no cure. It stole Sue from us so traumatically just 2 short weeks after diagnosis.

The family and friends of Sue plan to take part in the 2016 Gold Coast Marathon to raise much needed funds to help find a cure and to help prevent other people’s lived being cut short from Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease.

Get a group of friends together to start training and fundraising!

For more information, please visit the Sue’s Angels Facebook pagenews_suesangels1
