Meet the couple behind this project.
Jay and Cath have just been married for a month and were enjoying their new life as husband and wife. Jay has been in the software industry as a seasoned software/mobile developer while Cath was at the peak of her career as a Product Manager when she was struck with GBS in Feb 2011.
At the early stage of their married life, their vows were immediately put to test. Suddenly, all their plans came crashing down. They fought this battle hand in hand, together with their families and many friends. Through GBS, they became stronger. They vowed to give support and help those affected with the same condition. This website is their first project and a start of their mission to reach out and make a difference. Cath documented her journey with GBS in a blog called Life On Detour. |
