Make this Xmas extra special for sick kids.
By supporting the Light Up Xmas Appeal, you’ll help sick kids receive the very best care across a network of world-leading hospitals and services – from healing broken arms and treating cancer, to supporting families through their child’s last Christmas.
You can help make a difference to these families by donating today. Every dollar is another step closer to even more research breakthroughs, state-of-the-art equipment and world-class services and care.
Who you can help support this December:
Over 140 newborn babies who need to be transported to hospital via NETS |
Over 7,600 sick or injured kids in hospital |
Over 500 kids treated in the Hospitals' Emergency Departments |
