FRAXA Research Foundation
(AU, 043222167) Browse events
YTD Raised: $2,558.36
(AU, 043222167) Fragile X is the leading inherited cause of intellectual disabilities and the most common known cause of autism. Although Fragile X is virtually unknown among the general public, it affects about 1 in 4000 boys and 1 in 6000 girls worldwide. Approximately 1 in 260 women and 1 in 800 men are carriers. Fragile X can cause symptoms including extreme anxiety, hyperactivity, autism, and seizures. Remarkably, all these symptoms are caused by one missing protein which is vital for normal brain development. Prospects for treatments and a cure are excellent: if this protein could be replaced, or if a drug were found which could compensate for its absence, it would be possible to treat the disorder. FRAXA Research Foundation has funded over $24,000,000 in biomedical research, yielding discoveries which can change the lives of all families struggling with Fragile X. Donations received help support research teams around the world who are tackling this challenge.

Cure4CF Foundation Limited
(AU, 71136956137) Browse events
YTD Raised: $2,391.00A research team in Adelaide has discovered a potential cure for cystic fibrosis (CF) airway disease. The research being undertaken is both innovative and cutting edge, having already delivered a number of world first outcomes. The team has shown their gene transfer approach works in animal models and are now scaling up their work and modifying techniques to make them suitable for use in future human clinical trials. Cure4CF, along with expert research institutes such as the USA Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the UK CF Trust, believe that gene therapy has the potential of curing cystic fibrosis because it addresses the cause of the disease (the faulty cystic fibrosis gene) and not merely the symptoms. The technique being developed by the Adelaide CF Gene Therapy Research Group has the potential to cure, or at minimum provide a long-lasting and effective treatment for cystic fibrosis airway disease, transforming the lives of the 3,000 people living with cystic fibrosis in Australia and more than 70,000 worldwide. The Cure4CF Foundation was established to support and help fast-track the gene therapy research to the stage of clinical trials in CF patients.
