Starlight CEO encourages all Australians to dig deep and support children and their families who are doing it tough.

For over 35 years Starlight has been alongside health-care professionals with the mission of bringing joy and laughter to seriously ill children because they understand that finding happiness is crucial for their wellbeing.

Starlight CEO Louise Baxter told Sofie Formica on 4BC Afternoons, “We are completely funded by the community, we would not exist without community support.”

“What we ask on Starlight day is for people to dig deep and think about those children and families who are doing it really tough because the diagnosis of a serious illness changes the life of the child and family’s life forever.” Baxter continued.
