The foundation was inaugurated in 1998 following 18-year-old Amanda’s sudden death from meningococcal septicaemia following an Australian universities regatta in Penrith NSW.
The aims of the foundation are to create awareness of the swift and lethal nature of the disease, support survivors, fund relevant local research projects at UWA and encourage youth leadership.
Entry is $5 and children are free.
