Your support will change lives

United Energy Around the Bay is supporting Maddie’s Vision to fund vital research and increased support for patients and families living with Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes.

Every 3 days an Australian is diagnosed with a Bone Marrow Failure Syndrome. Distressingly, most are children and young adults, and 50% will not survive. Thousands more are living with complex medical issues and ongoing risks to their health.

When our bone marrow fails, our body is unable to produce healthy blood cells, causing fundamental disruptions to our health. Sadly, treatments are inadequate and the only potential cure is a bone marrow transplantation which has serious risks.

Patients diagnosed with Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes and their families find there are limited treatment and support options available. That’s why Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision is here.

By fundraising for Maddie’s Vision, you’re helping fund research that will result in faster diagnosis, better treatments, tailored support and improved outcomes for patients and families impacted by Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes.

About Maddie’s Vision

Maddie Riewoldt was just 26 years old when she tragically died of a Bone Marrow Failure Syndrome called Aplastic Anaemia. When her fight was ending in February 2015, she asked her family to make her a promise; Maddie wanted nobody else to go through what she did.

Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision is her legacy.

At Maddie’s Vision, we are determined to increase support, find better treatments and ultimately a cure for patients living with Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes. Please join us and together, we will #FightLikeMaddie.

Feeling inspired by the strength and optimism of you all, so much so that I'm doing something way outside my comfort zone. Let's hope I can achieve something worthy of you all and the great work at MRV. Time to #FightLikeMaddie!

Your bravery and strength has motivated me to get out and train hard to be able to ride a distance of 100kms. I hope you also find strength in the support you have from so many of us who will be riding for you in the upcoming Around the Bay ride in October.

Saving Lives with Genetic Testing

Hear how genetic testing was able to show the best treatment path for young Zak: a pre-emptive bone marrow transplant. Recent advances in genomics testing are saving lives. Stories like Zak's highlight why Maddie's Vision is so focussed on funding medical research and clinical trials that will deliver answers to patients sooner.
