Tribute to Helen Reddy

From the Australian Addison’s Disease Association Inc (AADAI)

It is with sadness that we learnt of the passing of Helen Reddy in Los Angeles on 29th September, 2020.

As patron of the AADAI Helen was a great advocate for and supporter of the Association.

Some members were lucky enough to meet Helen at various AADAI functions. She was friendly and warm, always pleased to talk to other Addisonians.

When asked in 2005 if she wanted to continue in the role of patron, Helen replied that she would be delighted. She said I enjoy so much reading the stories of other Australians in the Newsletter. Knowing we are not alone and that others have shared and continue to share our experiences gives comfort to us all. Anecdotal evidence also contributes to the research being conducted into Addison’s disease by doctors and scientists.

Our condolences go to Helen’s family and friends.
