Last year I had been part of Kate Boorer FCA, GAICD and Fiona Pearman #ActofConfidence leadership program - highly recommend to everyone!
And important part of the program is to define your values.
Mine always has been
🔹 Integrity — doing what is right, even when it's difficult, and ensuring that actions align with words.
And more importantly is the value of
🔹 Scientific Integrity; the commitment to conducting, and communicating research honestly, transparently, objectively, and responsibly.
My Act of Confidence is to be more Visible.
What I haven’t thought about how visibility can be a power to my values.
Values are not just statements we write down. They become real through the choices we make every day.
For me, integrity means using my passion for science to help people, be a voice for people living with rare autoinflammatory diseases, raise awareness of their challenges.
I use visibility to shine a light on communities like people living with CAPS, whose experiences are often overlooked.
This is why I started 🥾1000km for CAPS 🚴♀️ together with Australia and New Zealand Forum for AutoInflammatory Diseases (ANZFAID) a fundraiser for individuals and families affected by Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes (CAPS).
While many people have never heard of CAPS, those living with it face significant daily challenges that deserve greater awareness, understanding, and support.
Please help me to be visible on my last few kilometers on Camino, and to be voice for people living with CAPS, to raise awareness of their disease and importantly their challenges.
There only a few kilometers left to reach the end of 🥾1000km for CAPS 🚴♀️ every donation as little as $5 matters.
