We had our first day selling Christmas Cakes at Lakelands Shopping Centre on 4 November, these cakes have been kindly donated by the Lions Club of Mandurah to help us raise funds to keep our Association running.
We had an amazing raffle a 1.5kg Lions cake decorated by Sandy’s Cakes. Sandy kindly donated and decorated a one-of-a-kind Santa Cake. I have to say it was incredible and the local family that won the raffle couldn’t have been happier to take it home.
This was followed up on 25 November, once again selling cakes donated by the Lions Club of Mandurah.
Once again an Incredible raffle with four 1.5kg Lions Christmas Cakes kindly decorated with a Christmas theme by Sandy’s Cakes

A BIG Thank you for the support from the Grill’d team
Thank you as well to everyone who dropped by to support XYY Syndrome and our local Grill’d Mandurah
Grill’d Mandurah what a fantastic promo day creating positive awareness within our community. We had an amazing response with local supporters dropping down to have a meal and place tokens into our jar to support our cause for XYY Syndrome.
The journey for XYY in our family has been almost 10 years. Over this time I have taken on the role to help create a more positive image around XYY Syndrome. When I first realised there was a huge need for support around this syndrome I couldn’t help but find ways to get the information out to the public in the hope of supporting those who need that extra support including our family.
With little to no information out there on XYY Syndrome, my family and I decided to start the XYY Syndrome Association of Australia Inc. to generate resources to hand out.
XYY is a huge part of my life’s journey and I will continue to create positive steps for the future of XYY Syndrome.
It’s time to take XYY to a new level and get information out on a larger scale, our association is not funded for any of our projects and this needs to change.
My next goal is to source funding to help our Association to the next stage.
One step at a time we will make a difference!
Thank you to those who nominated me for these WA awards, this is a great opportunity to be apart of this amazing event and a fantastic platform to share more understanding around XYY Syndrome.
