PURA Foundation Australia

Thanks to CompactHome Lifts for supporting our team walking in the Chobani Fit Walk at the Melbourne Marathon next Sunday Oct 12th.

Compact home lifts retail and retrofit world-class electric home lifts. If you’d ever consider a lift for your home, please consider supporting those that support us.

When we launched two years ago, our vision was simple: to raise awareness of PURA syndrome, to support families, and to drive research that will lead to treatments.

Real progress is never made alone. It’s made 2-gether.

Happy 2nd birthday PURA Foundation Australia. 💜
Let the bubbles begin… 🫧

Hi 👋🏻 thanks for connecting. Have reached out to our research team…. Will be in contact. 💜

💜 Today is Purple Day – World Epilepsy Day 💜

March 26th is an international event dedicated to raising awareness about epilepsy. People wear purple to show support for those living with the condition and to encourage understanding of epilepsy and its impact on individuals and their families.

Rare Disease Day is dedicated to the millions of individuals and families around the world affected by rare diseases.
Every story shared, every connection made, and every voice heard enhances our collective impact, creating needed change.
#raredisease #purasyndrome #rare #rdd25 #community #together

PURA syndrome is a rare neuro-developmental disorder. The PURA gene is essential for the formation of pur-alpha, a protein which controls the activity of various genes, transport of different RNA molecules and generation of multiple proteins and is also vital for DNA replication.

#pura #rare 💜

February 28th is Rare Disease Day, a day where we recognise the millions of individuals around the world living with rare disease.
Although every diagnosis is different, one thing unites us all: the strength of community.
