Many children have Moyamoya Disease, and it is very clear that Strokes and other symptoms of this disease can happen to anyone, no matter how old they are.
Here are some of our warriors stories
How Moyamoya Australia Began
Nicola Baker established Moyamoya Australia, after her 19 year old son is afflicted with Moyamoya Disease. Jed had his first stroke from this disease at just 11 months old, which affects one in 100,000 and there is very little known about it.
Nicola established the foundation to provide information, support, and networking to those families who are dealing with this disease. Moyamoya Australia offers funding to families to help with some of the costs associated with having a chronically ill family member.
Moyamoya Australia have also gifted substantially to Macquarie University Neurosciences to assist in training and research of this disease.
