Mandy Whitechurch, founder of the Australian NPC Disease Foundation, has dedicated her life to raising awareness and funds for research after her sons were diagnosed with Niemann-Pick Disease Type C. Read and follow her story with the Florey. #NPDawareness #NiemannPick #CureNPC
Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (NP-C) is a devastating neurodegenerative condition that affects children and young people. It is a form of dementia where the average life expectancy is 10 years after diagnosis. In honour of Niemann-Pick Disease Awareness Day, we spoke with Mandy Whitechurch, President & Founder of the Australian NPC Disease Foundation Inc and mother of Timothy and Matthew, who both have NP-C. Mandy started the foundation 15 years ago. Now, together with volunteers and families, the foundation supports The Florey's work led by Dr Ya Hui Hung in developing a new gene therapy for NP-C. "The foundation's work isn't going to help my boys, but it's going to help somebody else. We've got to have hope." 🔗 Visit our website to read Mandy's full story: https://lnkd.in/gJytjwF5
