RUBYS STORY

A bright life. A Lasting Impact

Ruby died on April 29th 2019 after a fiercely fought battle with Idiopathic Gastroparesis. This is not the outcome we could have ever expected. She showed exceptional strength and bravery and we are stepping up to the plate to continue to raise her voice.

​

The following is her story and highlights the difficulties that she experienced with her care during her many many hospital admissions.

How labels of "its all in your head" and "anorexia" prevented her from being given the treatment she needed.

​

It was Ruby’s desire throughout her illness to improve care for not just herself, but anyone else struggling within the medical system.

FUND RAISING

Online raffles, auctions and anniversary lunches in honour of Ruby and all patients.

DONATING

The money from our funding has gone towards more research towards Gastroparesis

PATIENT CARE

Empowering patients to have their voice and expanding health professionals experience.

ADVOCATING

Ruby's Voice mission is to create change and speak up for those who get lost in the system.

PROUD SPONSORS

Ruby’s Voice Trust Research Travel Award

In 2024 Ruby's Voice Trust raised $9,999.00 enabling us to create the Ruby’s Voice Trust Research Travel award, which fulfils our goal of supporting a PhD student’s research.

​

This award supported Peter Tremain, who is a highly successful PhD student, to take up a visiting studentship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), in Massachusetts, USA. This was an incredible opportunity, not only for Peter, but also for our research project as a whole, they were able to develop a minimally-invasive endoscopic mapping device for the stomach, to detect electrical abnormalities associated with gastroparesis.
