Congratulations to our very own A/Prof Andrew Kornberg, whose solo circumnavigation of Australia is complete!
Andrew arrived back in Melbourne on Saturday April 1 after one month in the air. He was greeted by staff from the RCH and RCH Foundation, his patient Tom and his family, along with Anne Randall from the Good Friday Appeal and staff from Avalon Airport, who have supported Andrew’s incredible journey.
Andrew began his fundraising adventure from the Australian International Air Show on Sunday March 5 and has spent the last month flying around Australia to raise money for the 2017 Good Friday Appeal.
Along the way he caught up with past and present patients, met many community groups and organisations and contended with wet and wild weather across the north of the country.
Read more about his epic journey on his blog here.
Andrew’s mission raises funds for a new Complex Movement Disorders Program at the hospital. If you would like to donate, there’s still time. Please visit the Fly for the Kids website for details.

Why don’t you support and help kids with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome instead?

Did you catch up with any kids with POTS to see how they are going? Some aren’t doing too well.

Dear Patricia, Thanks for your messages. Associate Professor Kornberg is one of our neurologists and complex movement disorders his area of specialty, which is why he’s raising money for a complex movement disorders program. The funds that have been so generously donated will go towards this year’s Good Friday Appeal and enable us to buy equipment and technology, to enhance our research programs and also to support staff, particularly in leadership and educational roles. Thank you.

I want to specially thank Rick Simpson for saving my friend’s life
with his healing oil. some years back my friend Jane was diagonized with
a deadly disease cancer of the lungs, we try all medication all to no
avail, we also try to do the oil our selves but we were doing more harm
than worse. until an old friend of ours told Rose and tell her about RSO
that cures cancer completely, she gave us the email address of Rick
Simpson (ricksimpsoncannabisoil41@gmail.com)
from that very moment we decided to give it a trier, by emailing Rick Simpson. instantly we got a reply from him asking us what
the exact cancer problem that my friend Rose has, we explained every
details of it to him, and he told us, that his oil will heal
my friend cancer problem ..we did not buy the oil, we only paid for
delivery charges.he told us that by the next 42hours or so the
medication will get to our door step through the delivery services, we
decided to give it a try and behold when we did, exactly 48hours of the
medication came to our door step through the delivery agent and
deliver it to us. immediately we emailed him that we have gotten the
medication, and the usage instruction manual was also delivered to us.
my friend Jane started the medication immediately just after a month of using RSO, Jane is now free from cancer problem, she is
living a healthy life my utmost priority of sharing this short
testimony is for those that are suffering from this kind of cancer
diseases or if your friend or family members are suffering from this
deadly disease, please don’t die in silence there is a cure
for your cancer today don’t waste anytime further you have to email Rick Simpson directly and save your live and the lives of
