The Wiseberry Foundation raises money via organised events and donations to assist people with special needs within our Australian communities. We have seen time and time again the difference a simple act of kindness can make in the life of someone in need.

The Wiseberry Foundation, in collaboration with Wiseberry Heritage, hosted a Race Day on Thursday, 13th May 2021 at the Wyong Race Club to fundraise for a very special girl, Bobbi Jo.

This exciting race day was accompanied by a charity auction, prizes, giveaways and a 2 course lunch with drinks.

ABOUT BOBBI JO

Little Bobbi Jo was diagnosed shortly after birth with Rett Syndrome, a neurological condition affecting speech, motor, and development. There is no cure. Her condition is progressively deteriorating and she is often plagued by ongoing medical complications. She needs 24 hour care and assistance.

Bobbi suffers seizures, osteoporosis, scoliosis, severe reflux, constipation and sleep apnoea. She will never walk or talk but communicates with her smile and eye gaze.

Bobbi takes 11 different medications twice a day. Due to various infections, she is often hospitalised for extended periods of time, where she is fed via a Gastrostomy and Jejunostomy tube.

Bobbi is an amazing little girl, who despite everything she goes through, still manages to smile and laugh.

“We are hoping that one day scientists will find a cure for this horrible syndrome, but for now Bobbi is our ‘Angel with a broken wing’”
