Megan Strickland - It's Starlight Day!Australia’s broadest‑reaching children’s charity, Starlight Children’s Foundation (Starlight), is calling on Australians to help raise $1.95 million by 30 June to help make hospital a happy place for seriously ill children. Their annual fundraising appeal launches on Starlight Day, TODAY Tuesday, 19 May, with every donation helping keep Starlight’s essential hospital programs running nationally.
WA's Program Manager for Starlight at Perth Children's Hospital, Megan Strickland says Every minute of every day, a child is admitted to hospital in Australia. In that moment, their world can be turned upside down. Suddenly their smiles disappear and their lives are filled with doctors, needles, and fear. That’s why Starlight exists — to bring happiness to seriously ill children when it’s needed most.
