As families across the country are planning for the most magical time of year, countless seriously ill children are battling their toughest times yet.

Every minute of every day a child is admitted to hospital in Australia. In that moment, they often receive a diagnosis that can change the course of their life and their families lives forever.

Suddenly, smiles disappear, and life is filled with hospitals, doctors, needles and pain.

Clinton Maynard is joined by Matt Geraghty, Starlight Children’s Foundation National Partnership Manager, to highlight the important work of the Starlight Children’s Foundation, and how the community can help grant the 823 wishes currently pending ahead of Christmas time by donating instore at Best&Less nationally.

At Starlight, they know that happiness matters to sick kids facing the pain, fear and stress of serious illness.

That’s why for over 30 years they’ve worked in partnership with health professionals to bring the fun, joy and laughter that helps sick kids be kids… helping kids of all ages regardless of disability, injury or illness because what happens in childhood lasts a lifetime.
