The problem….Eastern Health Hospital Paediatric Units (The Angliss, Maroondah Hospital, Box Hill Hospital) are not supported by many of the major fundraisers throughout the year.

They are in desperate need of resources - everything from coloured pencils and Disney Plus memberships to help entertain kids pre-op, through to ultrasound machines to assist in finding veins and distraction equipment for procedures to reduce stress and fear.

Hospital-grade sensory kits are needed to support our neurodivergent children and youth and none of this is currently funded.

Over the last year this is how many children were cared for at our local hospitals:

Box Hill 11,160

Angliss 10,414

Maroondah 10,221

PLUS 4000 outpatients and a new baby every 2 hours!

THAT’S A LOT OF KIDS!

The plan….Emma-Rose is passionate about supporting children and youth, and is going to run over 100miles (170kms) from the top of Lake Mountain to Federation Square, via the three Eastern Health Hospitals that have Pediatrics; The Angliss, Maroondah and Box Hill hospitals.

When: 5pm, April 18th, 2024

Distance: 170kms

Goal: Raise as much as possible to support these desperately needed resources!

Can we get to $30,000? If we can - I will run it in a tutu!

How can you help?

Individuals, we are asking for 10c/km ($17) and Businesses to donate $1/km ($170)
