I am so grateful for your support and thrilled if you can share my page with anyone else who might help ๐๐โโ๏ธ
As a scientist at CMRI, I see firsthand how tough funding is. So much good science just doesnโt get funded. Your support really does make a difference.
As a mum, especially of a child with disabilities, I know the impact genetic conditions have on family life. This research truly changes lives.
This yea, Iโm running City2Surf to raise money for Childrenโs Medical Research Institute ๐โโ๏ธ๐

Iโm already over halfway to my $5K goal! Every dollar counts ๐ And today is EOFY โ a great time for an extra tax deduction while supporting kidsโ health ๐
Only 2 days left to apply for our ECR travel awards!! ๐ฌ
Applications close at 5pm AEST Friday 13th June.
Note: You must be an ECR member to apply. T&Cs and application form are on our website www.aepia.org.au/conference-t...
There is still lots of time to donate. every $$ counts and contributes to the essential medical research being done at @cmri.bsky.social

I want to give a shout out to my friends and family who have donated to my #C2S fundraising campaign for @cmri.bsky.social.
To be over halfway to my goal in less than a week is beyond amazing and I am so grateful!
Please consider donating to my fundraiser to support medical research. Your support fuels the research that will make all the difference. ๐ city2surf25.grassrootz.com/cmri/kate-g

Medical research gives us hope. It leads to better diagnostics, more effective treatments, and ultimately, less suffering. Every dollar raised helps us move closer to breakthroughs that can change lives. ๐งช
I know this firsthand, not just as a scientist, but as a mum. My child lives with disabilities, and Iโm very aware the impact these conditions have on families. The uncertainty, the constant medical appointments, and the hope for a better future. This is why I run and why I'm fundraising. ๐งฌ
The research at CMRI, like mine, is to help the 1 in 20 children that are born with a birth defect or genetic disease. These arenโt just numbers โ theyโre real kids, real families. ๐
At CMRI, I study chromatin biology and genome stability โ that is, I want to understand how the 3D structure of our DNA protects its integrity. When DNA integrity is lost and damage persists in the DNA, this is a major driving force disease development particularly for cancer.
This August, Iโm running the City2Surf โ not just for the challenge of completing the hilly 14 kilometres, but to raise funds for the Children's Medical Research Institute @cmri.bsky.social, where I also work as a scientist ๐
