Since 1988, the Starlight Children's Foundation has brightened the lives of seriously
ill and hospitalised children, and their families, by delivering innovative programs
that restore the fun, laughter and joy that serious illness takes away. Currently Starlight only reaches "one in three" of the 600,000 child admissions to hospitals across Australia each year. Starlight's goal is to give all seriously ill and hospitalised children the opportunity to access and benefit from their programs. Starlight's programs include the Starlight Express Rooms, Starlight Fun Centres, Starlight Express Vans, Captain Starlight, Starlight Escapes and Starlight Wish-granting. "It's been a difficult year healthwise for Remi but also the whole family. I just want you to know that if it wasn't for Starlight, I think we'd all go crazy! Seriously, Starlight is the only thing that enables us to all focus on something positive and generate lots of smiles." Kylie, Mum of Remi, a Starlight child with Neuronal intestinal dysplasia, 12 years old. |
