Annaliese’s Living Legacy Fundraiser

Annaliese Holland is like any other 24-year-old. She loves to go out and have fun with her friends, spend time with family and do the things she loves. 

Only, Annaliese is living with an incurable disease called Autoimmune Autonomic Ganglipathy (AAG), meaning her body creates antibodies that attack her nervous system. 

“I am unable to eat or drink because my stomach and intestines are paralysed, leaving me in debilitating pain, with lots of nausea and vomiting up to 20 times a day,” says Annaliese. 

“AAG has caused my bladder to fail requiring catheters and major surgeries, while also causing Addison’s Disease, severe osteoporosis and osteonecrosis of my hips, leaving me with screws and rods.” 

There are thousands of people just like Annaliese living with an incurable illness and needing your support. If you are able, please donate to Annaliese’s Living Legacy Fundraiser and support vital Palliative Care services.

Despite Annaliese’s complex condition, she truly believes in not allowing her illness to define who she is. 

“I am more than my illness. I’m Annaliese Holland!” 

“I have lost so much because of my illness, but I have gained strength, maturity and have a greater empathy towards people,” says Annaliese. 

“I’m overwhelmed by pain, but it is this pain that empowers me to make a difference to people like me with life-limiting illnesses.”
