At the age of 21 Phil Hulands was diagnosed with Behcet’s Disease and at first had minimal symptoms and it disappeared after 3 or 4 months. At 26 Phil’s condition reappeared and took away the use of his right leg and caused multiple blood clots that travelled to his lungs. Phil was told he would never walk again, even though he was the only person in Australia with this condition and there is no local expertise. This news was devastating to Phil’s mental health and general outlook on life.
In 2024, 12 years after his illness reappeared Phil started working with his new Coach, James Jelley at Complete Health Geelong and over a period of 3 or 4 weeks regained the ability to walk short distances unaided as well as perform a number of new exercises whilst standing.
We are looking for support for Phil to travel overseas and receive stem cell treatment to his legs to help reverse the 12 years of wasting to his muscles, tendons, ligaments and nervous system.
Phil has lost 12 years of his life to this illness and now as a husband and father to two young boys is determined to fight back.
To help Phil we are organising this fundraiser which will include:
✅️BBQ
✅️RAFFLES
✅️FREE TOY GIVE-AWAYS
✅️MENTAL HEALTH TEAM AVAILABLE
✅️OPEN DAY AT OUR DROP IN CENTRE
✅️NETWORKING
We would also like to invite other businesses, provider's and individuals to come and have stalls, network, advertise and market yourselves as it will just add to the day, we just ask for a donation to help benefit the cause.
This donation can be $$$ or a product or service we can put into the auction.
please contact us via email at [email protected] or call 0400 443 449 to organise this prior to the event.
