Our first fund raising effort, a preview of In Bruges, was a fantastic success, raising over $40,000 for CJD research. The money will help establish a scholarship at the University of Melbourne for PhD students to work with the national CJD research teams. The great thing about this is that it will create experts in the field of CJD.
Thank you to everyone who contributed towards making our event such a success. You have made a real difference.

About this site
In December 2006, our gorgeous mum and friend, Carol Willesee, died from Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD). She had been diagnosed with the rare brain disease just eight days earlier.
Having seen what it did to our beautiful Carol, we are only too aware of how much research needs to be done into this cruel, little-understood disease. Universally fatal, there is no known treatment for CJD.
Our aim is to establish a scholarship in Carol’s name to assist PhD students to work with the Australian CJD research teams, based at the University of Melbourne.
