About Preeclampsia
Preeclampsia is an extremely common condition of pregnancy caused by high blood pressure
in mothers, and is the major cause of premature birth and death of babies in the world today.
Worldwide more than two million women and their babies are affected by preeclampsia
every year.
This devastating disease sees:-
• More than seven hundred babies die from preeclampsia every day – that equates to one
jumbo jet full of babies.
• Many babies born prematurely or severely prematurely are left with life time issues such
as cerebral palsy, deafness and blindness.
• Many mothers suffer from short term health effects including stroke, kidney failure and
liver rupture (60,000 die every year).
• Many mothers suffer from long term health effects including stroke and long term brain
damage.
Preeclampsia has baffled scientists and doctors for over a hundred years and is the primary
focus for a group of Australian scientists lead by Professor Annemarie Hennessy in Sydney.
Professor Hennessy’s team have been supported by PEARLS (Preeclampsia Research
Laboratories) for a period of eleven years.
We would like to acknowledge and thank our patron
Her Excellency Professor Marie Bashir AC CVO,
Governor of New South Wales
for her support of
PEARLS

Q&A with Amanda Davidson,
Chair of Pearls Preeclampsia Research Laboratories
1. What inspired you to start the charity ‘Pearls Preeclampsia Research
Laboratories’?
I had preeclampsia when I was pregnant with my son Harry, and after he
was born I had a discussion with my doctors about the condition. It was
only then that I realised how widespread and devastating preeclampsia
is. I just saw that something needed to be done, so I set about doing
it. The inspiration really came from my brilliant doctors, Annemarie
Hennessy and Geoff Brieger.
2. From your own personal experience, what advice would you give
women regarding pregnancy?
Make sure that you go for your regular check ups and get your blood
pressure checked. It could be high without you even knowing it as
there are often no symptoms. For example I had never had high blood
pressure in the past and I have had normal blood pressure since. Then
listen to your doctors and do what they say. I can remember clearly
the day that I was diagnosed with preeclampsia. I was a partner with
a major law firm with a very busy practice and at week 30 I was told to
immediately go home to bed and rest. I was in the middle of a huge
mining case and it was very hard to let go of that and focus on me and
the baby. Luckily I had and still have amazing clients that supported me
through that time. Just do what your doctors say. Not everything in life
is within your control.
3. If you could had one wish for Pearls, what would that be?
My wish is that we can learn how to prevent preeclampsia. If we could
do that, we would save literally millions of lives. The figures are alarming
with 1 in 10 pregnancies in Australia affected, and even higher in other
countries who do not have the level of obstetric care that we enjoy
here in Australia. The effects of preeclampsia are devastating both
for mothers and babies and are often not discussed. My second wish
would be that women come out and talk about their experience with
preeclampsia. With more awareness we can raise more money for our
critical medical research.
4. Professor Annemarie Hennessy is an incredibly inspiring woman.
All the time and research she devotes to Pearls and the Heart
Research institute is ground breaking. If you had one word to
describe Professor Annemarie Hennessy, what would that be?
Brilliant. Annemarie is the most capable, intelligent and compassionate
person I have ever known. It is wonderful to be able to work with her as
well as her incredible team. Finding the cause of preeclampsia was her
life’s work, and finding a way of converting her teams’ ground breaking
research into a practical way of preventing preeclampsia from occurring
in the future will remain her life’s work. I’ll be there along the way to
help in whatever way I can. Annemarie literally saved my life and that of
my gorgeous son Harry. It’s the least I can do.

Fashion Sketches by Alex Perry
Set of 3 gorgeous sketches by Alex Perry
Undoubtedly Australia’s premier couturier, Alex Perry has added a new level of glamour to the Australian
fashion industry with his breathtaking gowns. The designer ‘du jour’ for celebrity red carpet dressing and
high society weddings, Alex Perry is in a league of his own.
Alex graduated from the prestigious East Sydney Fashion Design Studio. From the very early stages his
brand carried a unique trademark signature –beautiful, luxury fabrics combined with dazzling cuts.
Launching his eponymous label in the early 1990’s, Alex’s gowns were instantly acclaimed by leading
Australian magazines. Vogue Australia was the first to feature his jewelled corsets and glamorous sheaths
in their main fashion shoots.
It wasn’t long before the personality behind the scenes began to shine almost as brightly as the gowns and
Alex emerged as one of Australia’s first designer-celebrities.
With his often frank, but always humorous, insights into the workings of the local and international fashion
industry, Alex is a highly regarded and in-demand public speaker and MC. A proud Greek-Australian, Alex
has also spoken frankly on the subject of Growing up Greek at the National Art Gallery Canberra.
But it’s his fashion that really sets Alex apart from the rest. His perfectly constructed statement dresses,
often with intricate details, have led to an ever- increasing local and international client list.
Alex devotes much of his time and energies for charitable organizations such as AEIOU, The Sydney
Children’s Hospital, PEARLS, Pink Ribbon Breast Cancer, The Brain Foundation, The Royal Flying Doctors
and the Red Cross.
