Many of you have known Paul over a number of years some as Gramps, Kathryns husband or the best cup of tea maker i am devastated to share the news of his sudden passing in the early hours of this morning.

There was no pain or suffering and he passed away peacefully in his sleep.

Please bear with us during this difficult time as we grieve the loss of an incredible man.

If you have any stories of Paul please feel free in sharing them.

October 23rd is recognised globally as PURA Syndrome Awareness Day. It's a day to raise awareness and understanding of PURA syndrome across the world. 💜

The date marks the publication of a paper on PURA syndrome (October 23rd 2014) by Dr David Hunt and colleagues. Among the co-authors were Australian researchers Prof Richard Leventer, Dr Cas Simons and Dr Ryan Taft, with the first Australian PURA patient included in the study. 👏

11 years later, our understanding of PURA syndrome continues to grow through the efforts of Foundations, scientists, clinicians and families around the world. ⭐

The PURA Foundation Australia is dedicated to supporting individuals with PURA syndrome and their families. We aim to accelerate understanding of PURA syndrome, expand clinical and scientific research, develop educational resources and help pave the way for future precision therapies.

Alone we are rare. Together we are strong. 💜

Diwali—Festival of Lights

Diwali is the "Festival of Lights," which celebrates the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness.

The name "Diwali" comes from the Sanskrit word "Deepavali," meaning "row of lights," referring to the lamps lit to celebrate the victory of light and righteousness.

It’s Invisible Disabilities Week (19–25 October)! 🌻

Around 80–85% of people with a disability have one that isn’t visible. These include neurological, cognitive, sensory, mental health, and chronic conditions that aren’t always immediately apparent.

Not all disabilities are visible — but a little understanding and kindness can go a long way in making everyone feel seen and supported.
