Steve Waugh Foundation

The Steve Waugh Foundation exists to provide life-changing support for children and young adults living with Rare Diseases. 
The Foundation is ‘somewhere to turn’ for families when hope seems lost. ‘Orphans of the health system,’ those living with Rare Diseases often are without diagnosis, without treatment and without reason to hope. We strive to change this. 

We provide vital funding for Grants that go towards treatment, specialised equipment, and therapy. Through generous donations from our Patrons, Partners, Sponsors, Volunteers and Individual Donors we have been able to support hundreds of families who may have otherwise fallen through the cracks. 

Our Major Fundraising event, The Captain’s Ride, is a gruelling 6-day bike ride that challenges riders both physically and mentally as we ride to put Rare Diseases on the map by raising awareness and much needed funding.
