(AU, 60739651389) Browse eventsHCU Network Australia is a Health Promotion Charity established in 2014, with the vision “to be a driving force in the journey to a cure, improving quality of life along the way”. Our aim is to achieve meaningful progress and best health outcomes for the HCU community. Our priorities are to: Support HCU Patients, their families and their caregivers; Raise awareness of HCU and the importance of early detection, diagnosis and treatment; and Support and encourage research into improved diagnostic methods, increased treatment options and ultimately a cure. Homocystinuria (HCU) is a devastating rare genetic disease that when untreated causes most notably intellectual disability and early mortality. Approximately 25 per cent of untreated affected individuals do not live past their 20s with others experiencing significantly reduced quality of life. HCU is progressive and affected individuals suffer multi-systemic disorder of the central nervous system (CNS), ocular, skeletal, and cardiovascular system. Symptoms are highly variable but include intellectual disability, developmental delay and learning difficulties, psychiatric disturbances, behavioural problems, dislocation of the lens of the eye resulting in blindness if untreated, seizures, osteoporosis and skeletal abnormalities, premature heart attack and stroke. As a whole, the complications of the disease lead to a reduced quality of life and significantly shorter life expectancy. No cure has been discovered for HCU. Those affected require life-long medical and dietary management.

(AU, 55163499808) Browse eventsSpina Bifida is the most common permanently disabling birth defect - it affects the development of the spine and brain. Hydrocephalus is caused by spina bifida as well as a number of other medical conditions. There are no cures for spina bifida or hydrocephalus, but with proper support, especially in the developing years, children may live rewarding, fulfilling lives. With over 40 year’s experience, SBH Queensland is well respected as the expert provider of services to children and adults with spina bifida and hydrocephalus in Queensland. SBH Queensland provides support from the moment that a pregnant mother discovers that her unborn child has spina bifida or hydrocephalus right through until the child’s adult years. Our teams in Brisbane and Townsville provide school support, home visits, therapy and group programs, holiday camps and outreach visits throughout Queensland. SBH Queensland receives no government funding for children prior to their entry into formal education. As the first five years of a child’s life is a time when many developmental milestones are reached, programs for this age group are vital for future independence. We ask for your support to continue these vital programs.

Anyone, adults or children, elderly people or even pets can catch Lyme disease from the bite of a tick, and the devastating effects can be life-altering.Our charity's aim is to support the NHS and the government in seeking the best diagnostics and treatments for Lyme disease.

Many thousands of people in the UK who have caught Lyme disease have never made a full recovery; we desperately need research to find out how to help them. Caudwell LymeCo Charity is supported by a kind sponsor, Mr. John Caudwell, who pays all our staff and administrative costs, meaning every penny you give goes straight into our research fund.Please support us in helping people who are too ill to help themselves. To find out what we have done so far, or to learn how to keep yourself safe from Lyme disease, please visit our website. Charity No: 1169342 Find out more Website https://caudwelllyme.com/
