LEGO for children with brain illnesses and injuries

Pictured below is Cruez, 10 years old who contracted Encephalitis from a bout of influenza when aged 8 (inflammation of the brain tissue that causes fever, headache, confusion and seizures) and McArdle disease (metabolic disorder where the body cannot break down glycogen in muscles due to a deficiency in the enzyme myophosphorylase resulting in muscle breakdown). He lives with his single mother, Ilse, whom Brainwave supports through one of the Mums groups.

Ten children a day are diagnosed with neurological conditions or acquired brain injuries. They, and their families, will never be the same again. They face financial hardship through losing a breadwinner to be the 24/7 carer, social isolation, exhaustion, guilt, family breakdown, mental health issues and endless frustration with the health and disability systems.

Started by one of these parents, Jo Nicholls, in 1995, Brainwave Australia is the only organisation to support these children and their families nationally to live the best lives they can through information and advice, networking with other parents, funding of therapy and equipment and family activities. Today, we support over 1,800 families across the country to cope, adapt and thrive, and have partnerships with all the children’s hospitals.

The LEGO assists the child play and interact with their siblings and parents, developing their motor skills and relationships.
