Ben

Many thanks for the hard work and success of your father and grandfather, they have dedicated their lives to helping others and used their talents to make a better world. It is this community of scientists who are going to improve the lives of so many people with genetic disorders. It gives them and their families hope of either relief or cure from the terrible conditions these people battle and live with everyday. From our family to yours, thank you for all the sacrifices your family has made to support and enable this incredibly important work. So many of these great men and women who work in this field go unrecognized, I would think this would make much better front page news than some overpaid sportspersons bad behavior! Thank you for sharing this great achievement.

Please pass on my thanks and congratulations to your Mum and Dad.

Thank you Richard. I'll pass that on and it's only a matter of time before more diseases are cured using gene therapy. But more funding is needed to increase the pace of scientific breakthroughs.

Ben, Your grandmother and Grandfather have been friends of mine since we first arrived in Victoria and found out they came from East Africa. So we have followed you and your parents with interest over the years.

It is sad that we live so far apart now that we are widows. Perhaps you would like to drive your grandmother and come down and stay with me in Jindivick!

Best wishes have a great Family Christmas. Regards Rosalie Snoxall
