Fundraising Night - what a success!

On Friday night two WA harness clubs supported our Baking for Brodie fundraiser… and wow, we had such amazing generosity from everyone oncourse at both venues!

A huge thank you to Raelene at Northam Harness Racing Club for putting on the whole race night for us … with race names, the most beautiful cookies, cupcakes (thanks Leanne) raffles and prizes and posters throughout the racecourse. Thanks Helen Miller (Grandma Polly) for helping through the night.

At Northam they raised $626.5!

At Gloucester Park our home base was with Tanya at Garrards Horse & Hound - thanks so much Tan for baking delish cakes and cookies, and decorating the store!

At GP we raised $770 … which Gloucester Park are so very generous matching!

So in total on Friday night we raised $2,166.50!

PLUS 10% of Diamond Daze’s WIN and 10% of That’s Not My Gait’s second place prize money will be added to the total!

Thank you Rick and Leeann Lee

The biggest THANK YOU to everyone oncourse, and especially our racing industry participants who have been so incredibly generous with your donations.

Love Sian, David, Eliza & Brodie xxxx

Baking for our baby, Brodie

In February this year our family devastatingly lost our beautiful baby boy, Brodie, to a rare genetic condition called Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency (OTC).

OTC is a metabolic condition that in Brodie's case, was inherited through his X-chromosome. It affects 1 in 50,000 people worldwide, and the prognosis for newborns diagnosed with OTC is usually very bleak.

The Children's Medical Research Institute are currently undertaking extensive research into trialing gene therapy as a potential treatment for OTC. It's currently incurable.

Jeans for Genes Day is on Friday 4 August 2023.

We are hosting Jeans 4 Genes and Bake it Blue events in August to raise funds to help fund this incredible research and ultimately, find a cure for OTC.

12 kids born every minute, worldwide, face a birth defect or life-threatening genetic disorder. As a family, you never think that you might be affected ... until you are.

Please support the Children's Medical Research Institute by making a donation today – any amount can make a world of difference. THANK YOU!

There is also a beautiful range of Jeans for Genes clothing and merch available online - https://shop.cmri.org.au/collections/jeans-for-genes?fbclid=IwAR3O4CLop8S1FNJvLbDIXC4prcYfDKWHGpymAOmWdLzEir89w9lKgu-MKm8

Love Sian, David, Eliza & Brodie xxxx

Why we're doing Jeans for Genes’ Bake It Blue

Our team cares about the 1 in 20 Aussie kids who face a birth defect or genetic disease. That's one in every classroom, maybe someone you know or love. Every day, many of these kids wake up to pills, injections, hospital visits (or worse). They don't get the chance to run around and just be kids. If they can endure that, and keep smiling, then the least we can do is fight alongside them. That's why we're doing Jeans for Genes and raising money for Children's Medical Research Institute. We want to give these kids better treatments and maybe even a cure.

We’ve signed up to Bake It Blue, so we can raise awareness and start the conversation—we need to do all we can to help save more kids’ lives. Can you help by sharing this message with the people you know and asking them to donate too? We (and millions of Aussie kids) thank you for it!

There’s lots of work to do, but there is also lots of hope.

Join us. Share this message. Donate. Thank You!
