We want to take a moment to thank our community for the incredible support we’ve received throughout 2025.
We’re especially inspired by the many families who have been personally affected by group B Strep, who then went on to give back by raising awareness, just like Ame and her family.
Ame first reached out to us in 2010, when her first daughter, Lilee, developed group B Strep meningitis and septicaemia shortly after birth. The experience was traumatic for the whole family, and thankfully Lilee survived and made a full recovery. With support from GBSS, Ame went on to welcome her second daughter, Ellyse, safely with preventative measures ensuring she did not develop group B Strep infection.
Since then, Ame has dedicated herself to raising the profile of group B Strep. She has delivered talks in high schools, featured in newspapers and magazines, encouraged celebrities to promote awareness, and helped raise funds through many different events and activities.
GBSS is more than just our staff team. Supporters like Ame are at the heart of our mission to stop GBS infections in babies. We are so grateful for your ongoing support, and look forward to a successful year of campaigning together in 2026.
