Freemasons donate $6,000 to Fragile X

08 August 24

Recently at Lodge Ku-ring-gai RW Bro Graham Piper presented a cheque for $6,000 to the Fragile X Association. The cheque was accepted by Liz Jewel on behalf of Fragile X. Lodge Ku-ring-gai has supported this outstanding organisation for many years through the Galston Open Gardens event held in October each year.

Kudos to Masonicare who matched the amount raised. The Fragile X Association does amazing work in their field and Liz Jewel gave us all an interesting insight into the work done by them.

Fragile X-associated Disorders is a family of inherited conditions caused by changes in the FMR1 gene (Fragile X gene) on the X chromosome. These disorders include a wide range of physical, intellectual and behavioural symptoms that can affect family members in different ways.
