Mark your Diary - 30th September 2023, Saturday Chatswood Sydney
Now it Sydney's time to paint the city Bluuuuuue! Woohoo.......
Bake it Blue - Sydney will be hosted by a good friend and home caterer @Sweet Rita Nyonya Kueh who has been our partner for a long time. Her amazing kueh-kueh, Jurassic Curry Puffs and she sold out Siew Pao (Baked pork puff) in Laurieton Slice of Heaven in 2018. It was an experience for some locals who came back for more "Siew Pao" as it's their first time tasting it. And we cannot not mention Sweet Rita Nyonya - Kueh's Pulut Tai Tai which Rita has graciously shared her recipe. We also created "Blue Nasi Lemak Cake" and "Fried Nasi Lemak" at various festivals. Happy days........
What would Rita be giving us ?
Her signature Jurassic Puffs (can't be blue curry puffs folks! sorry), Soon Kueh (similar to dumplings but different maybe Blue skin as per photo) maybe her signature Kuching, Sarawak Kolo Mee and Sarawak Laksa but all to be confirmed as she's currently conquering Mt Kinabalu in Sabah. Mount Kinabalu is the tallest mountain in Malaysia. The summit, Low's Peak, sits at 4095.2 meters (13,435 feet) above sea level. We wish her the best.

How Kalarny's life changed - and how we can help
When Kalarny was born, he couldn’t hold his head up. He couldn’t move. He was fighting just to breathe. He was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), and his parents were told he wouldn’t survive to his first birthday.
Thanks to research he survived, but he needs regular spinal injections and a wheelchair to get around. If he’d been born just a few years later, he could have received gene therapy. Infants treated with just one injection of gene therapy seem to be cured. It’s still in the early days, but signs indicate that they will go on to lead normal, healthy lives. It’s so effective that SMA has been added to newborn screening and the gene therapy treatment is covered by PBS. An incurable disease just a few years ago is now curable. That's nothing short of a miracle. That’s what we want for more kids, and to cure so many of the 6000 genetic diseases out there.
Lastly everyone, thank you for your generosity and coming together.
