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)
DONATE HERE! Mountain to Melbourne

The taper is a period of reduced training volume and intensity leading up to a race. It typically occurs in the final two to three weeks before the event. The purpose of the taper is to allow the body to recover from the accumulated fatigue of training while maintaining fitness and maximizing performance on race day.
