We’re looking forward to working with Amy to #FightLikeMaddie, so that we can continue to support patients and families with Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes, and together find a cure.

In Amy’s words:

“I couldn’t be more thrilled to have been selected as the next CEO of Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision. I consider it an absolute privilege to be able to honour Maddie and the Riewoldt family’s legacy and lead the organisation into the future. There is still so much work to do to discover improved treatments and cures for Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes, and enhance our critical support to patients and families.

Together, we have the opportunity to change the future for children and young people diagnosed with BMFS. I look forward to joining the amazing team, Board and passionate supporters of Maddie’s Vision on this journey.”
