About Siren
This WA all‐star band came together to perform a special one‐off set at Rockin' WA Day held at the Civic Hotel on June 2 2013 to honour Chrissy Amphlett who, sadly, lost her battle with breast cancer and multiple sclerosis on April 21 2013. We continue.
Donna Greene has been at the forefront of female vocal performance and stage entertainment in WA for many years. Better known in recent years for her lead vocal and performance in Lady Zeppelin, Donna was invited to perform as Chrissy Amphlett in a one‐off show to celebrate Australian Rock on WA Day 2013. Donna decided early on that if the response to the first "Chrissy" show was strong enough, she would consider further shows. About Siren
Three weeks after the first show, Donna was diagnosed with MS. About MS
SIREN pays homage to our iconic Australian diva, the dearly departed Chrissy Amphlett (25 October 1959 –21 April 2013) and Divinyls, while "crusading for a cure" by raising awareness for Multiple Sclerosis.
MS is a disease of the central nervous system which results in damage to myelin — a protective sheath surrounding the nerve fibers. When myelin is damaged this interferes with messages between the brain and other parts of the body.
It is estimated that over 23,000 people in Australia have MS.
An additional 1,000 Australians are diagnosed with MS every year, equating to approximately four people every working day. In Western Australia approximately 16 people are diagnosed with multiple sclerosis each month.
2.5 million people are living with MS worldwide. While there are preventative treatments available to try to help to stop the progression of MS, there is currently no known cure. Ongoing funding is required for scientific research to help to find a cure. About Our Support About Our Support
A message of support from Little Pattie Facebook 6 August 2013:
"Shortly after Chrissy's passing, Donna Greene, lead singer of Perth band Siren (billed as The Ultimate Divinyls Tribute) paid tribute to Chrissy with a special show in Perth. Donna performed the show whilst suffering fatigue, pain and impaired vision, and in an ironic twist has now been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) herself! Donna is now even more determined to raise money for the MS Society so please support her by liking her page & if you live in Perth, by going along to any future SIREN ‐ Divinyls Show shows in Perth!"

Further Support from Little Pattie’s Office: 12 August 2013
“Hi Donna I have spoken to Pattie & she is very happy to write something in support of your shows! She would like your email address, postal address & phone no. so she can get in touch with you herself.”
Patricia Amphlett OAM contacted Donna personally and the first thing she said was “Well, you could write a book …” Pattie has offered her personal & ongoing support and has also donated a “Still Stompin” t‐shirt she designed for the Long Way to the Top tour to be auctioned at the show.
During the conversation Pattie and Donna discovered they also share mutual friends from Pattie’s bandstand era. Pattie has opened her heart to Donna. About Our Support
