We were proud to support the annual Women’s and Children’s Family Gathering, a special event to honour and remember children and babies who have sadly passed away.
In the peaceful setting of Botanic Park, over 150 family members came together to share in music, book readings, family stories, and creative activities.
It was a day of connection, reflection, and mutual support, creating a space for families to feel understood and less alone on their journey. As one attendee shared, “To know you are not alone and that there are other parents that truly understand what you are going through, is so important.” 💛

Children born with Craniosynostosis, where the bones of the skull fuse together too early, often require multiple invasive surgeries early in life. Without timely intervention the brain doesn’t have enough space to grow, causing increased pressure, developmental delays and even blindness.
But what if there was another way?
We are supporting research that could change the future for these children. Professor Peter Anderson, Senior Consultant Craniofacial Surgeon at the Women’s & Children’s Hospital, is exploring a medicine that may slow or prevent the fusing of the skull bones. This could delay or even eliminate the need for surgery during infancy, reducing the trauma associated with major surgery for these children and families.
“When parents have their new baby who’s their pride and joy, and a surgeon is telling them they need major surgery… it’s devastating,” says Professor Anderson. “If we could do things to improve these families’ lives, they would be incredibly grateful.”
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, children like Divyank (pictured), now have hope for better treatments through innovative medical research.
