Raine Review: The December 2019 Edition |
|
Welcome to the December 2019 edition of the Raine Review, an e-newsletter for our participants.
What an amazing year 2019 has been. We have been busy with multiple follow-ups involving multiple generations of our Raine Study families and have commenced our 30th birthday celebrations.
2020 is shaping up to be particularly exciting too, as we finalise our 28 year old follow-up and of course, in May we will celebrate our birthday with you all (more details on that below).
We would like to take this opportunity to once again thank you for your ongoing involvement in the Raine Study. You really are making an enormous difference to human health and well-being. THANK YOU!
From all of us here, we would like to wish you and your loved ones a relaxing holiday season and great start to 2020.

| | Special recognition for your favourite blood-taker!
Many of you will recognise this amazing lady. Sue was the early morning "blood fairy" at the sleep study, took your blood when she visited your kids in your homes as teenagers and you will have seen her if you participated in the recent Breast Density Study.
Sue recently received the UWA School of Population and Global Health's Citizenship Award for her amazing work with the Raine Study.

You will be receiving your official invite via email in the New Year, but you can register now for our 30th Birthday celebrations on 1 May 2020.
All generations of the Raine Study are invited (so mums, dads, original "Raine Study babies" and grand-parents) as well as researchers and some key stakeholders.
The event will take place on the 1st May at HBF Stadium from 630pm (registrations from 6pm) and will feature formal presentations followed by a cocktail function where you can hear from some of our researchers and mingle with other participants.
We can't wait!
