Our causes

We are a nationally registered charity that supports unmet needs for emergency medical and protective equipment, therapeutic animal welfare and disease research.

Emergency medical and protective equipment

Prevention is better than treatment. This also applies to crisis hot spots where preventing a lack of medical supplies for stopping blood loss (hemorrhage), reconnaissance methods to avoid a conflict, or intercepting incoming ordnance, can literally save a life.

In Ukraine, disruption of infrastructure and casualties continues in civilian and frontline areas due to the scale of the conflict.

Together with other Australian donors since we've supported the delivery of emergency medical supplies, electricity generators, and preventative equipment with United Aid and Logistics to mitigate injury to volunteers in Ukraine.

Our Ukraine aid fundraiser has resumed! Our current focus is on medical equipment and drone interception measures. Donations are tax deductible in Australia.

Therapeutic animal welfare

Equine therapy allows participants to participate in grooming, feeding, leading and riding horses.

This helps enhance the quality of life of people with disabilities, and there is evidence that riding can stimulate cognitive ability. Equine therapy has also been used to support physical, occupational and speech therapy and mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, ADHD, autism and more.

We support the welfare of therapeutic mental health animals, in particular Riding for the Disabled, to provide food and infrastructure to support horses. Find out more about equine therapy in Australia, UK, and UK.

Donating to this cause will support food and maintenance bills for horses and the patients they support.

Disease research

Scientists and clinicians are constantly uncovering the genetic and environmental factor basis to human cellular degeneration in disease and aging. While most of the 37 trillion cells in our bodies are constantly turning over within our organs, within each cell, 46 bundles of DNA (chromosomes), are constantly being manufactured, damaged, or repaired.

Genetic damage can occur at single positions or stretches of DNA that encode RNA, ultimately disrupting the structure or function of proteins that serve any cellular process. Damage can also occur at the epigenetic level with chemical modifications that control what genes are expressed.

Environmental genetic and cellular damage sources can include exposure to airborne particles, pollution, plastic or wood particles, heavy metal or microbial toxins, UV exposure from sunlight, but also carcinogens in cigarettes, vaping, alcohol, as well as obesity or starvation.

It isn't possible to control what genes we're born with, but we can reduce the risk and progression of disease with a healthy lifestyle of a balanced diet, exercise, avoiding exposure to alcohol, smoking, sunlight and other environmental toxicity factors.

We develop research tools and promote awareness of the cellular basis of disease, toward clinically relevant studies.
