Meet our little 2018 ambassador for the Good Friday Appeal – Arielle. During her mother Genevieve\u2019s final weeks of pregnancy in 2013, doctors noticed there were issues with Arielle\u2019s heart. Arielle was born with dilated cardiomyopathy\u00a0and immediately transferred to The Royal Children\u2019s Hospital.\u00a0After multiple tests it was revealed that the left side of Arielle\u2019s heart wasn\u2019t functioning, Genevieve and her husband Carl were told to prepare for the worst. \u00a0At that time, a heart transplant wasn\u2019t an option nor had it ever been performed on a child that young. At eight days old, it became clear that Arielle wasn\u2019t going to recover and specialists at The Royal Children\u2019s Hospital made a bold decision to fit her with a Berlin Heart, a mechanical cardiac support system that supports children with severe heart failure. A child that young, at just over a week old, had never been fitted with such a device in Australia.Thanks to this life-saving decision made by the RCH specialists the Berlin Heart supported Arielle and at five-months-old she was fortunate enough to receive a heart transplant, making her one of the youngest ever recipients in Australia.<\/p>\n

Each year the Good Friday Appeal brings the Australian community together to raise funds for the Royal Children\u2019s Hospital. These generous donations from everybody goes towards medical equipment, research and education that will help change a child\u2019s life, just as it did for Arielle…… Every dollar makes a difference! So remember to donate what you can. Don\u2019t forget your donations towards this great cause guys. Tomorrow is the last day to purchase your raffle tickets from CCO to go into the draw to win prizes. Once again the team from CCO would like to thank our generous sponsors this year – Benadette at Floating Cloud Therapies and Junilla at Gnome Garden.<\/p>\n
