Treating Hepatitis B - A New Breakthrough
Some time ago our club donated $5000 to the Doherty Institute to assist with research into treatment for Hepatitis B. Speaking to us last week, Professor Peter Revell AM told us how that donation became a first and important step towards a $5m government grant. This in turn supported exciting research that gained our main guest speaker, Laura McCullough, her PhD and opened the way for a new treatment for this dangerous infection.
Walking to End Polio
The Rotary Walk With Us campaign throughout October is a fun way to raise awareness and funds to End Polio Now. Using Rotary’s friendly website you can register and join Brighton North's team https://www.rotarywalkwithus.org/join/brightonnorth to walk, set a distance and fundraising goals.
