From the chair

Our ChairMan - Yi Yuen Wang is participating in his FIRST Ironman this May at Port MacQuarie which is a 3.8km swim, 180km bike ride followed by a 42.2km run - a total of 226kms!! Whilst this seems incredible and for many unachievable, Yi Yuen has all the vital #pituitary hormones to help him in his training, participation and recovery. There are many living around us with pituitary conditions leading to a lack of pituitary hormones including cortisol and growth hormone. Living for these people is a struggle. Simple tasks like having a shower, walking to the shops, getting pregnant, attending work or school are energy sapping, or just unattainable resulting in further physical and psychological withdrawals. Yi Yuen is passionate about raising awareness and supporting patients and families living with pituitary conditions. He would love your support to continue the work of the Foundation HERE.
