I’m on a mission to beat the world toughest diseases – one lap at a time.
I am a researcher at the Perkins working on finding the genetic causes and developing treatments for rare neuromuscular diseases. Though they are individually rare, collectively these diseases impact hundreds of Australians and their families. Finding the genetic cause of disease ends what is often many years of searching for these families and empowers them to make informed decisions and initiate any available treatments.
It is truly a privilege to be able to do what I do. Everyday I come to work and am surrounded by incredible researchers making major advances in so many important areas; from cancer to cardiovascular disease to genomic technologies and neuromuscular disorders.
Receiving funding for research in Australia is a major challenge in the field and the lack of funding available can stifle the hard-work and progress being made. I have decided to take part in this 12 hour overnight winter swim to raise money for the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research to help fund and safeguard the incredible research I see around me and get to be a part of.
Any contributions are hugely appreciated and will help to further the pioneering research being done to help Australian families live better, longer and healthier lives.
