You’ve helped power happiness for over 2,000 seriously ill children like Teddy

Just after his second birthday, Teddy was diagnosed with leukaemia. He spent 15 months in hospital, often in isolation, undergoing intense treatment.

Thanks to generous supporters like you, Captain Starlight was there, bringing music, games and fun that made Teddy smile, even on his toughest days.

His mum Anna shared

“The Captain Starlights are so wonderful – I've never not seen a kid smiling when they arrive on the ward.”

From October 20–23, donations to Starlight’s Spring Appeal were matched dollar-for-dollar, thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor. Together, we raised $26,000 in matched giving funds, helping bring the joy of Captain Starlight to over 2,000 seriously ill children.

Although matched giving has now ended, your support still helps power happiness. Every donation brightens the hospital experience for kids like Teddy.

Thank you for doubling the joy
