Caulfield Grammarians (CGA)
Story
On Sunday 13 October the Caulfield Grammarians’ Association will be participating in the 2013 Melbourne Marathon Festival to raise money for the James Macready-Bryan Foundation (JMB).
James incurred life-changing injuries to his brain as a result of an assault in October 2006. Since 2010, Carey Grammar and Caulfield Grammar have held an annual charity football game to raise awareness and money for the JMB Foundation. James was a keen Carey footballer, who played several times against Caulfield Grammar.
Money raised will assist the foundation to raise money and public awareness of the plight of many young people in our community who find themselves, through their disabilities, confined to unsuitable accommodation and with inadequate opportunity to receive appropriate rehabilitation and care.
Activity
JMB Foundation - The James Macready-Bryan Foundation
The JMB Foundation was established in 2007 to provide support for the rehabilitation of James Macready-Bryan after he incurred life-changing injuries to his brain as a result of a serious assault in October 2006, when he was just 20 years old. James fell, unconscious, hitting his head on the pavement. Unfortunately, when he fell, he also fell through a gap in our social support system, which provides very limited funding for the care and rehabilitation of young acquired brain injury patients.
The Foundation has two main aims: to provide financial support for care and rehabilitation, not only for James, but also for other young sufferers of an acquired brain injury (ABI); and to give a public voice to those young people – who all too often literally cannot speak for themselves – and to their families and carers.
Our fundraising allows us to provide vital financial support for additional services in care facilities, for the provision of better and more appropriate home care, for participation in community activities that are otherwise out of financial reach for many, and for equipment and home modifications that may mean the difference between a young ABI sufferer living in a care facility and being able to live at home. Funds that we provide make a genuine difference to the care, comfort and quality of life for these young men and women.
