Your Swim for Sick Kids is so much more than giving families a place to sleep
All funds raised in the Swim for Sick Kids challenge will go towards providing vital services to seriously ill children and their parents, carers and guardians who need to travel 100+km from home to receive specialilst medical care at the hostipital in Randwick.
YOU are making sure kids get to keep their families close. YOU are making sure they get a meal after a long day at the hospital.
YOU are giving them a normal childhood at the House and the chance to be kids again. YOU are providing them with love and support from a community of families, volunteers and staff.
