As a scientist at CMRI, I see firsthand how tough funding is. So much good science just doesnโ€™t 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.

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. ๐Ÿงช

I know this firsthand, not just as a scientist, but as a mum. My child lives with disabilities, and Iโ€™m 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. ๐Ÿงฌ

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 arenโ€™t just numbers โ€” theyโ€™re real kids, real families. ๐Ÿ’”

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.
