WHAT IS THIS EVENT ALL ABOUT?
Radiothon raises funds to buy lifesaving equipment, fund research and deliver vital services to help our young patients at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead.
• We care for more than 80,000 patients across 150 departments
• Last year we had around 57,800 emergency cases
In 2018 Radiothon raised over $4 million dollars. With your help, we hope to raise a similar amount this year, for the sick kids of The Children’s Hospital at Westmead.
