Lisa Curry's Plea Five Years After Daughter's Death

  • Lisa Curry, a triple Olympian, is leading a national appeal in Australia to recruit volunteers for a major eating disorder genetics study five years after her daughter's death.
  • The appeal follows the loss of Curry's daughter Jaimi, who struggled with anorexia nervosa for 18 years before dying at age 33, highlighting the urgent need for better understanding and treatment.
  • The research project seeks to enroll over 4,000 Australians who have experienced eating disorders to uncover genetic influences on various conditions and enhance individualized treatment options.
  • Professor Nick Martin explained that genetics play a significant role, emphasizing that these conditions are not anyone's fault, but rather a matter of chance. Meanwhile, Curry highlighted the importance of providing support through timely diagnosis and customized treatment options for those impacted.
  • The research is expected to enhance early detection and treatment, potentially preventing future heartbreaks and advancing understanding of eating disorders' complex genetic and environmental causes.
