JMB Foundation: Running for James Macready-Bryan and young people with ABI
JMB Foundation: Running for James Macready-Bryan and young people with ABI
Story
The JMB Foundation is an associate charity for the 2017 Medibank Melbourne Marathon Festival.
On Sunday 15 October, our supporters will come together to run for those who can't. Some runners and walkers will go the extra mile and fundraise for the JMB Foundation. You can be one of those people, and know that your support will mean that much-needed funds can be made available for young Australians who live with a severe acquired brain injury (ABI). These funds go towards providing additional therapy, care, vital equipment and the opportunity for participation in community activities. Every dollar helps to make a genuine difference to the comfort and quality of life for a young person with an ABI. It's easy for you to help! Now that you have set up your individual fundraising page, you can join our JMB Foundation fundraising team. Just click the JOIN TEAM button above right.
Every dollar that your supporters donate will add to your individual fundraising total, AND add to the JMB fundraising team total. The JMB Foundation has been involved in Melbourne Marathon Festival event for the past 10 years, fielding some of the largest teams of participants and consistently enjoying team success. We are fortunate to have such enthusiastic support, not only from runners but also from volunteers who help us contribute to the overall management of the event. Thank you for your support and helping to make a difference.

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.
