Meet the Telethon Stars!
A remarkable boy who faces life with incredible courage and joy. Born just four months after his father tragically passed away, Nazeem’s mother faced the heartbreaking challenge of giving birth alone. Adding to the emotional strain, Nazeem was born not breathing, and it took 13 agonizing minutes before he drew his first breath. As a result, he now lives with cerebral palsy. Despite these challenges, Nazeem approaches each day with unmatched strength and enthusiasm for life. Thanks to Healthy Strides Foundation, he receives essential physical therapy that significantly improves his mobility and quality of life. Nazeem and his mother’s resilience is truly inspiring.
A vibrant young girl with a love for dancing, crafting, cooking, and spending time with friends. Despite facing a challenging battle with an inoperable brain tumour, Charlee's infectious spirit shines through. Diagnosed with a pilocytic astrocytoma glioma, she’s undergone surgery and chemotherapy, and has benefitted from the Day101 clinical trial, which has significantly reduced her tumour size. Supported by Telethon, Kids Cancer Support Group , and Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia, Charlee continues to inspire with her resilience and joy.
