In Memory of Jenny Duckworth
After raising $18k last year for CJD research, this year the Duckworth family are aiming to raise $50k to fund local researchers in Australia.
CJD is a rare, degenerative and fatal brain disease, that affects 2 in a million people every year.
Due to the rarity and aggressive nature of this disease, funding for research is sadly limited to donations.
Since losing mum Jenny Duckworth to CJD in 2016, her children have inspired a vision that no other family will have to go through what they did.
Please join them on Saturday 17th November as they host a night of cocktails, canapés and comedy, to raise much needed funds for CJD research.

The Papalia family in WA has organised a raffle to raise funds for CJD research in Australia.
This family lost a husband, father and grandfather to this devastating disease in late 2015 and have been raising funds and promoting awareness since that time.
Tickets are now on sale and $5.00 could win you one of three fantastic prizes.
Please call Maria on 0412905588 if you would like to purchase some tickets, or even better sell a book, to assist this fantastic cause.
All proceeds raised will go to the CJD Support Group Network and every cent will be directed to support research of CJD and other prion diseases in Australia.
Thank you to Poppy’s Crusade for assisting the family with this fundraiser.
