Australian musicians join forces in PR and social campaign to help fight fatal disease

A PR and social fund-raising campaign involving many of Australia’s leading musicians has kicked off today in a bid to save the lives of two Sydney children suffering from a rare and fatal disease called Sanfilippo Syndrome.

The host of artists, including Darren Hayes, Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pete Murray and Natalie Bassingthwaite, have come together to provide vocals on a new version of the Kate Bush track This Women’s Work in a project produced by French singer Sébastien Izambard.

The song will be available to download from Friday with all proceeds going to the Sanfilippo Children’s Foundation, a not-for-profit charity that will help fund clinical research into the treatment of Sanfilippo Syndrome, a  genetic condition that results in progressive brain damage. Life expectancy is between 12 and 20.
