As many of you know, in the past couple of years, schizophrenia has become something I am quite passionate about. It is a scary disorder that can change a person completely with symptoms like hallucination and social withdrawal, which often results in discrimination against these patients. Schizophrenia affects roughly 1 in 100 people, yet the progress in developing new treatments is slow due to the complexity of this disorder. The actual causes of schizophrenia is still unknown, and much research still needs to be done, which is why I need your help.
For my birthday this year (coming up in a month), I've decided to do a fundraising for Schizophrenia Research Institute, so instead of giving my presents, you guys can donate that money to Schizophrenia Research Institute instead. It is the only national medical research institute dedicated to discovering the ways to prevent and cure schizophrenia, which makes it a perfect candidate for this fundraising.
The fundraising starts on 8/11/11 and lasts until a week after my birthday (18/12/11). It is up to you how much you would like to donate, because in the end, it all adds up! Thank you so much for taking your time reading this :)
The Schizophrenia Research Institute is the only national medical research institute solely dedicated to discovering the ways to prevent and cure schizophrenia. Established in 1996 as Australia's first virtual medical research Institute, the organisation conducts and supports schizophrenia research
