Mountain to Melbourne:
100+km run for Local Kids in Local Hospitals!
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 pain 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….After an awesome event in 2024, 2025 is going to be AMAZING!
Emma-Rose is passionate about supporting children and youth, and will run over 100kms from Healesville Hospital, via Eastern Health Hospitals, and finishing at Town Square Eastland
When: 3:30am, March 28th 2025, aiming to finish at Eastland Town Square at 6pm.
Distance: 100+kms
Goal: Raise as much as possible to support these desperately needed resources!
If we pass $30,000 I will run it in a tutu!
How can you help?
Come and celebrate at Eastland’s Town Square 3-7pm on the 28th March
