Last year’s telethon raised $2.6 million for the hospital, thanks to the generosity of the community and the major partners. The money went towards numerous services and equipment including the construction of a new Childhood Cancer Research Centre, the purchase of a new heart and lung machine, and a clinical trial studying relapsed neuroblastoma patients (a form of childhood cancer).

This year the telethon target is raising $3.6 million to support essential equipment, services and research at Sydney Children’s Hospital.
