'Big Jon' is a familiar face at TPCH, having spent several weeks in a coma at TPCH in 2011 after a blister on his foot developed into sepsis. He would then go on to be diagnosed with a rare neurological issue, causing muscle weakness and loss of mobility.

Over the past 15 years, Jon has visited the hospital many times for support, admitting Charlie's is like a second home. He's been hospitalised more than 400 times and now visits once a fortnight for treatment.

“What CIDP is, it’s an autoimmune disease that my body is fighting and trying to attack my nervous system. So, a good way of explaining it is like a jug cord. That cord’s got wires inside. Well, that’s your nerves. The plastic around would be the myelin sheath. So essentially, my immune system is trying to eat the plastic around the wires to get to the nerves," Jon said, explaining his condition.

"And that’s what my body’s doing right now… So, unfortunately, with the CIDP, your protective layer around the nerves is damaged and the treatment to slow the condition means I’m more susceptible to infection,” he added.

Jon is an ambassador for tomorrow's The Prince Charles Hospital Giving Day through The Common Good Au, raising funds for research and patient care initiatives at TPCH. You can find out more via the link below:

TPCH Recreation Officer Adam is on a roll helping consumers in the Secure Mental Health Rehabilitation Unit (SMHRU), using painting and decorating of skateboard decks to portray their stories. 🛹🎨

“I really encouraged them to use words and images on the decks that are meaningful to them, and the clients that came down, they really got involved in it, really enjoyed what they have done,” Adam said, reflecting on the unique activity.

“I enjoy looking after the clients, working out what their interests are and how I can tap into that to make their stay here a lot more pleasant and comfortable.

“It also giving them skills and introducing new things that hopefully help them move forward in their lives.”

The skateboards will be mounted in the SMHRU front office foyer so everyone can see and appreciate the creativity of our consumers. 🤩 ...
