Soccer marathon bigger and better than ever

Posted by Kylie Flament on 6 September 2016

The 5th annual 24-hour soccer marathon was held in Dural this weekend and the team far exceeded their fundraising goal, bringing in an incredible $105,000, to be shared between Neurology, the Cancer Centre and the Heart Centre for Children.

It was a fun day/night/day for everyone involved, and a good run-around for The Children's Hospital at Westmead's "kids vs adults" game between 2 and 4pm on Saturday.  It was heartwarming to be part of such an active, inclusive event that has provided us with the funds to really make a difference to patients and families. This event just keeps getting better each year.  We're already looking forward to what 2017 will bring.

City2Surf 2016

Posted by Kylie Flament on 15 August 2016
Harley would have been incredibly proud of his family and friends this weekend as they walked or ran the City2Surf along with over 80,000 others, and raised a huge $43,000 to support the Heart Centre for Children.  Sadly Harley passed away earlier this year, but his Mum Danielle wanted to do something to help other kids with heart disease, so she channelled her energy into fundraising.  Here are some photos of the Harley is My Heart Hero (Heart Centre for Children) team from yesterday's 14km race: Harley is My Heart Hero team at the start line   Awards for the highest individual fundraiser (for Harley's Mum, Danielle) and the highest team fundraiser.   Harley's big brother, Bailey, and his friend Josh at the start line   Harley was very much in everyone's thoughts as the sun shone down on the City2Surf 2016   At the end of the race, balloons were released into the sky with m...

Harley is my Heart Hero

Posted by Kylie Flament on 29 June 2016

Harley was one of our patients who sadly passed away just recently.  His family and friends are honouring his life by selling "Harley is my Heart Hero" t-shirts and doing a series of fundraisers.

The Facebook page is available here, including Harley's story.  The family made the news with their fundraising efforts, and we cannot thank them enough for supporting the work that we do at the Heart Centre for Children.  Harley's memory will certainly live on.
