Steve Waugh Foundation
Приєднався 24 лют 2010
The Steve Waugh Foundation exists to provide life-changing support for children and young adults living with Rare Diseases.
The Foundation is ‘somewhere to turn’ for families when hope seems lost. ‘Orphans of the health system,’ those living with Rare Diseases often are without diagnosis, without treatment and without reason to hope. We strive to change this.
We provide vital funding for Grants that go towards treatment, specialised equipment, and therapy. Through generous donations from our Patrons, Partners, Sponsors, Volunteers and Individual Donors we have been able to support hundreds of families who may have otherwise fallen through the cracks.
Our Major Fundraising event, The Captain’s Ride, is a gruelling 6-day bike ride that challenges riders both physically and mentally as we ride to put Rare Diseases on the map by raising awareness and much needed funding.

The Captain's Ride 2019 - Day 6
“The comradery definitely develops over the week. At the start of the week a lot of people don’t know each other, by the end of the week they become great mates. There are 4 fathers (Grant Recipient dads) today wearing the Captain’s Choice Jerseys, and we’ll find a way today to get there.” Steve Waugh AO
Day 6 - Boonah to Tambourine Mountain, 140KM, 1525VM of climbing. Everyone rose to the occasion - The Captain’s Ride 2019 is done! Congratulations to everyone on Tour and involved behind the scenes.

Day 5 - the shortest day of The Ride, a Boonah loop 75Km in and around Boonah with still plenty of hills and climbing to challenge weary legs and bodies. The Captain's Ride is about comradery and teamwork, we saw it in spades, needed now more than ever to get through the last 2 days.

The toughest and most dangerous day of The Ride. Threats all around- high fire danger warnings, extreme heat conditions, rugged terrain, and bush fires. The riders persevered pedalling 118KM and climbing 1501VM through eerie light and bush fire haze to make it to Boonah, Queensland.

Most of us never really get to know a kid with a rare disease, or a life-limiting condition. But we can acknowledge that they are here, and are important to us.
inspiring and, so very true! I fight everyday hoping for a cure - as a Mom I can take on anything...I just don't want my daughter to have to because of my genes!
Awesome work Stevewaughfoundation! Brought me to tears. Alone we are rare, together we are strong. We are a powerful force that can bring about great change! From a rare disease advocate here in the states!
Thank you Andrea. All the best,
Thank you for this simple video. I have chronic Shingles, Fibromyalgia, and have recently been diagnosed with Leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV), also known as hypersensitivity vasculitis and hypersensitivity angiitis. ~Maggie
Our ten year old son Lachie has a gene mutation STXBP1 - Global Delay, Uncontrolled Epilepsy, Cortical Vision Impairment, Chronic Lung Disease and a Gastrostomy for all feeding. He is a beautiful soul and he has taught us about what's really important in life - FAMILY. I would love people to take the time to understand all the special kids in our world - it would make such a difference. :)
Thank you to everyone @ Steve Waugh Foundation for your ongoing work to not only give our children a voice but for supporting them and their families as well .
Thank-you for your support. Warmest regards
To all my family & Friends, & their friends & their friends and so on; we all need to watch this. I hope you all do. :)
Wonderful work.....
Thanks for the support Steven! Much appreciated.
Great to see a public figure standing up for Rare Disease in Australia
