August was full of adventure and awesome memories across the whole Foundation. Here’s what we got up to: 🐐 The iconic Hephner the Alpaca and Goats from Sundown Boer Farm joined the calendar of furry fun. 💚 Ekka’s farmyard friends and the Smurfs brought belly laughs to the wards. Can you spot our Patient Experience Manager - Mat - going full Smurf-blue? 🔔 Archer rang the bell to mark the end of his treatment. Congratulations! 🏥 We hosted a breakfast with DISSH to celebrate the 2025 Grant Recipients of the Mary McConnel Career Boost Program for Women in Paediatric Research. 🍓 Archer and Andie experienced Ekka for the first time ever with Seven News. 👋🏻 Brisbane Roar challenged little legends to games during a special bedside play visit. 🏁 Monster Truck drivers Darron and Rebecca rolled in from the USA to rev up some fun with families in the hospital.

Getting lost in stories for 40 years and counting… 📚 Thanks to our Book Bunker volunteers, kids in hospital can sit and read their favourite story or have a story read to them. 💚 With over 5,000 books to pick from, we help hospital families get lost in stories of dragons in space, aliens out at sea or rabbits hanging at the beach. Tell us, what book have you loved reading to the little ones in your life over the past few decades? 👇🏻 (fb)
