Sunshine and Smiles: 7NEWS Reports on Heartwarming Sydney Sick Kids Appeal

Westmead Children's Hospital hosts the Sydney Sick Kids Appeal, an annual winter fundraiser that supports the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network. 7NEWS reporter Michael Usher was on hand to witness the event, reporting on the positive atmosphere and the vital role the fundraiser plays in providing world-class care for sick children. 'It's a beautiful day, but radiating sunshine inside with all the kids here,' said Usher, highlighting the contrast between the cold weather outside and the warmth within the hospital. Emma Memma, a participant in the event, emphasized the importance of the appeal, stating, 'We can't not recognise the amazing team that's here at the hospital and everything that they do to try and support these families.' The event included dancing, games, and plenty of smiles, demonstrating the community's commitment to supporting sick children and their families. A mystery donor will double all donations received during the day.
