Did you know that 1 in 20 Aussie kids are born with a genetic disease or birth defect? That's 1 kid born every minute!

The funds raised through this campaign go directly to the Children’s Medical Research Institute, helping to advance groundbreaking research into treatments and cures for serious childhood illnesses. It’s a cause that aligns closely with our commitment to child and youth wellbeing and every dollar raised helps build a healthier future for young Australians.

Your donation will help keep labs running, research advancing, and hope alive for kids who need it most.

Together, we can make a difference.
