11 Georgia Richards

22, QLD. CHRONIC PAIN SCIENTIST AND RESEARCHER. Georgia is passionate about improving the quality of life of those who suffer from chronic pain. While researching this debilitating condition, Georgia was shocked to discover the number of people who suffer from chronic pain and how much it impacts on their lives – not to mention the $35 billion it costs our economy every year. “I have been drawn to tackle the silent epidemic of suffering in Australia,” she says. The scholarship would allow Georgia to continue her work with world leaders into chronic pain research and treatment so she can continue to improve lives and influence healthcare.
