Project Y

Project Y is a groundbreaking initiative developed to deliver much-needed answers to over 500,000 Australian children who are currently living with a rare disease. For these children and their families, every day is spent in constant uncertainty, not knowing what tomorrow will bring. Getting a diagnosis, an answer, can be extremely challenging. According to psychologists, uncertainty is one of the most stressful states you can experience. And with many children waiting 10 years or more for a diagnosis, this uncertainty must be unbearable. None of this is a laughing matter, so you might wonder why we’re raising money for Project Y by partnering with some of the world’s leading comedians. The difference is that each joke told contains unbearable suspense before the punch line, helping to give an insight into the uncertainty that thousands of children and their parents live through every minute of every day. By supporting Project Y, you’ll be supporting the diagnosis of rare childhood diseases in Australia, helping to inform treatment for a long list of medical mysteries, one child at a time.
