Eamon’s journey with Usher syndrome is a reminder of something extraordinary. It is a reminder that the generosity and support of community powers the research, devices and hope to change the course of a child’s future.
“The Aussie Ear Bank is special to me, because it’s about more than just research - it’s about giving kids like me a future with hope.” Eamon Doak
Eamon, and his brother Kealan, were both born profoundly deaf due to a condition called Usher syndrome. The genetic analysis performed through The Aussie Ear Bank offers the opportunity for potential cures for conditions such as Usher syndrome, but to continue transforming lives, we need your help.
With your generosity, we aim to raise an incredible $2M by 2026, towards our 2030 goal of $10M. Every dollar raised will go towards establishing Australasia’s first and only Biobank solely dedicated to ear and hearing disorders, The Aussie Ear Bank.
This research will change lives, and we invite you to be part of it. Donate to the Gift of Hearing Appeal via the link below. Help us reach our target and give the most meaningful gift of all this Christmas - the gift of hearing. https://donate.earscience.org.au/?utm_content=sked_6939379cf33999e79d5574fb&utm_medium=social&utm_name=sked&utm_source=facebook
