Dementia Demolition Squad
Please donate below!
Theona and Pete Combos are committed to fundraising to rid the world of dementia.
They set up the Helen and Emanuel Poteris Award to honour two people, Theona’s parents, whose life together was cut short due to both Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
A relationship with NeuRA means the money raised each year provides a PhD student with financial support for their research expenses.
Theona and Pete hope this award will assist a researcher to build on their knowledge and finally put an end to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s all around the world, by discovering the cure in Australia.
