A local Bendigo family are featured on an International Documentary airing on Fox Nation and Tubi.
Catherine Boyer & Gary Boyer have been the Australian Ambassadors for KIF1A KAND since their son Edward was eventually formally diagnosed in 2015 at 4 years of age. Edward was the 1st diagnosis in Australia and at that time #12 Worldwide. It had been a tough road with many challenges. Edward is now 15 and permanently in a wheelchair, legally blind, suffers from seizures and the family see the decline in cognitive childhood dementia.

Murdoch Children's Research Institute - MCRI is the KIF1A KAND lifeline here in Melbourne, the Doctors, Researchers and Staff building a Community for the now 23 diagnosed in Australia and 600 worldwide.
MCRI Research facility is in the top 3 in the world and leading the charge to find a treatment and hopefully someday a cure. Stopping the childhood dementia is a race against time.

Kilometres for KIF1A : 28 Kilometre Challenge for a KIF1A Cure
*Challenge runs February 1 - February 28, 2025.
$28.00 for 28 Days - All funds raised goes directly to Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, Dr Simran Kaur’s research team for KIF1A.

Will you join us for Kilometres for KIF1A? We are challenging each other to complete 28 Kilometres or MORE in the month of February by February 28, 2025, Rare Disease Day!

KIF1A Associated Neurological Disorder (KAND) is a very RARE Disorder and prevents some of our children from ever being able to move, and those who do have some mobility face the possibility of losing this over time. It’s just one of many of the devastating symptoms those with KAND face and because of this…It is Neurodegenerative and similar to all top 5 Neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s, MND, ALS, etc. And too many die young, before they turn five years old.

WE DON’T TAKE A SINGLE STEP FOR GRANTED.
As parents and caregivers, it’s also crucial for us to stay strong, and we’re on a mission to honour our KAND warriors this Rare Disease Month by raising awareness and support for KIF1A research aimed at finding effective treatments and a hopefully on day a cure.

You can cover these Kilometres however you choose throughout the month of February. Whether it's walking, running, swimming, or cycling, it’s all about moving forward when and how you feel most comfortable. Every Kilometre counts, and we hope we can inspire everyone to participate!

Together, we can go further and make a difference in the fight against KAND. Each step brings us closer to a cure, and we hope you'll join us in this important 28-Kilometre challenge!

When you complete 28 Kilometres or more AND submit your results via Edward’s Journey Social Media IG and FB, you will be able to see who moved the most in the month of February.

Can't join the challenge, but still want to help? Your donations and support for our MCRI-KIF1A research is greatly appreciated. Click DONATE above for more information to help us reach our goal!
