Did you know that 1 in 20 Aussie kids are born with a genetic disease or birth defect? That’s one in every classroom!
And I am apart of the 1 in 20. I was born with Phenylketonuria which is a rare genetic disease where my enzymes can’t break down the amino acid PHE which builds up in the blood and over time can poison my brain.Â
For my whole life, I have been and will continue to be on a restricted low protein diet to keep me both physically and mentally healthy.
This year, I’m taking part in Jeans for Genes to help fund the incredible scientists at Children’s Medical Research Institute, who are working today to change lives tomorrow.
Your donation will help keep labs running, research advancing, and hope alive for kids who need it most.
Together, we can make a difference.
