Who will your gift help?
Kym's Story
At 43 years old, Kym was in peak physical fitness. One morning, however, she developed severe heart palpitations, nausea, muscle cramps, shaking and abdominal pain.
Kym was diagnosed with a rare genetic disease called Acute Intermittent Porphyria.
Over the next nine months, she was hospitalised eight times with life-threatening, debilitating attacks of the disease.
Kym’s life changed when she was offered a new Porphyria treatment as part of a global clinical trial at Wesley Medical Research.
Since commencing this treatment, Kym hasn’t had any acute disease flare-ups. She has returned to work, goes to functions, takes her children to sporting events and meets with friends.
The whole experience has been profound for me. I thought I’d lost the joy in my life. But I’ve certainly got that back through the clinical trial. I feel so grateful and so fortunate that this is available… to have my life back,”
