Our Childs Vision CEO Grant recently organized to donate a new Ipad to Benjamyn, and we are happy to be helping with support for Benjamyin who was diagnosed with transverse myelitis. His condition makes him loose strength in his muscles , especially on his hands and triceps.
Currently, Benjamyn has been helped by physiotherapists and personal trainers who are teaching him some appropriate exercises to improve his muscle function and fitness level. However , due to this Ben has difficulty with most tasks requiring use of his hands , it’s especialy difficult for him to do handwriting and study with basic pens and notebooks so this is a very important tool in helping him with his school work (and of course have some much needed out of school hours fun ).
His new Ipad will help him to have a better experience at school and also with his homework, Benjamyn was very excited to receive this help, which will be essential to increase his independence to participate in classes.

We here at Childs Vision hope you are enjoying your new Ipad and its making life a little easier for you :)

Christmas is always an exciting time of the year for the kids however due to the ever mounting financial difficulties these families endure which can make the kids miss some of the Christmas fun and Christmas luxuries due to the large expenditure that needs to be spent daily on ongoing treatment.

Childs Vision own Santa, CEO Grant Hudson recently visited Tweed Hospital childrens ward to deliver an overflowing sack full of fun gifts for the very excited kids who couldn’t stop smiling, that were stuck in hospital away from from home over the Christmas season.

We here at Childs Vision would like to say a huge thank you to all those Sponsors and donors that make this possible every Christmas, and hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and wishing you all a happy and healthy New Year and 2018

From the Childs Vision Team :)

This past week Childs Vision visited Mudgeeraba Special School to draw the winners of our Huge 2017 Childs Vision Christmas Raffle, which included a huge haul in awesome prizes!!!

Our CEO Grant Hudson was very excited to be able to be a part of the event and deliver all the prizes to the school to be handed out to all the lucky winners. Childs Vision wish to say a HUGE Thank You to the staff at Mudgeeraba Special School for all their continued support and making this raffle such a huge success and of course all those who supported it by buying tickets and sharing in this fun event.

Christmas time is the most exciting and magical time of the year for kids everywhere. But the harsh reality for families with children that have terminal and life threatening illnesses or injuries, is that the mounting financial pressures can dull the Christmas sparkle. Many families we help spend Christmas in Hospital with their kids and thousands on treatments and care, simply unable to afford the Christmas luxuries they would otherwise enjoy with their kids.
We here at Childs Vision aim to help the kids and their families who we support be able to enjoy and be a little more festive by helping them a little during the Christmas season.

A massive Thank You to all our amazing sponsors who donated the awesome prizes for our 2017 Christmas raffle and of course Congratulations to all the winners!!!

We here at Childs Vision wish you a Very Merry Christmas :)

The very talented Dean and Scott Rotumah are currently working with Childs Vision and have just started an Aboriginal Art project and Employment program!
Childs Vision run these projects to encourage and assist those requiring some help and loved being able to donate to this project for these upcoming artists to purchase the materials required, help teach their own people how to learn more about this amazing art and most important to see them do what they love, while providing the community with some amazing indigenous art in the very near future.
These classes will assist in training Dean’s new team of approx 12 artists, while preparing them to create, paint and sell their own art to local tourists on the Gold Coast especially over the summer holidays tourist rush we see here every year at surfers paradise.
Childs Vision chose Dean and Scott as teachers of this project due to their lifelong commitment in painting and selling Aboriginal art in the nth NSW and South Qld regions.
Please be sure to stop, take a look at their work and support their amazing work if you see the team around the Coast.

Some fun facts about Dean and what he does- You can find more on his own website – http://deanrotumah.com/

Aboriginal Artist Dean Rotumah belongs to a clan of people, from Fingal Heads NSW, known as the Booningbah people or “Echidna people”,… which are a part of the Bundjalung nation (meaning the place of butterflies), whose area stretches from Grafton NSW in the south, to Beaudesert Qld in the west, to Coomera Qld in the north. His ancestors have lived on the Far North Coast of New South Wales, Australia, for over 40,000 years and Dean still resides within that district today…
In his childhood Dean grew up in a predominately Aboriginal community and still maintains a presence in that community today. At the age of 14, he left school and started an apprenticeship as a house painter, which he completed by the age of 19.

Dean grew up on the beaches of Fingal Heads where he learnt to ride surfboards and became extremely accomplished. The sport of surfing took over most of his life.
Dean has always been influenced by his Indigenous culture and the sea and many of his surfboards had contemporary artwork on them which further involved him in learning more about his cultural heritage through art and thereby honing his skills as a noted Aboriginal contemporary artist.

He now resides on the beautiful southern Gold Coast region, doing what he enjoys the most…painting Aboriginal contemporary artworks for the tourism trade, commissioning and also the export market, and in his spare time…surfing.

Little cutie Vincent who has autism just made his dream come true with a super fun ride in a real monster truck driven by Australias best driver Troy Garcia! Wow what an experience :)
Vincent’s family alone could not afford to get this for their little boy , and Grant Hudson (Childs Vision CEO) was thrilled to be able to assist and organise to make this happen for Vincent!

Watching Vincents face light up and the true excitement he enjoyed climbing up in the truck and being a ‘Monster Truck’ kid for a day was awesome, along with seeing the joy of him enjoying this dream come true for their baby by his family, truly was a humbling and exciting experience for all of us here at Childs Vision.

Joshua and his mother have been having a hard time at the moment due to him recently turning 17 & having his oxygen tank taken off him by his local hospital, due to age restrictions.

Joshua’s health has been disintegrating slowly throughout the years although this push to take his tank off him has decreased his health even further to the point of lowering his life expectancy down by 50%.

Childs Vision makes sure to stay in close contact with the children and families that we support & heard about this news and how it was affecting Joshua and his family.

Childs Vision wanted to try and relieve some of this stress by taking them out for a special meal at the café where his mums spends alone in tears normally but this was changed as we took one of Joshua’s favourite volunteers who flew all the way up from Melbourne to spend some time with him and his mother. Ashton a current Miss Multiverse contestant is currently raising funds to support the family financially.

Joshua was more than happy to see Ashton & over the moon that she flew up to see him. Its moments like these that make Childs Vision appreciate the work that they do as it is measured by the smiles on the young children’s faces when we can fulfil a long awaiting wish of theirs. The CEO Grant Hudson also took time out of his busy schedule to entertain his guests.

Childs Vision has been working on a project called Homeland that is hoping to utilize the Spit – Main Beach Area. This space is being sited to add a casino by overseas developers, although Childs Vision is eager to keep this space on the beach to Aboriginal tribes & community locals who frequently use the area.

Adding a casino by overseas developers to this area will mean increased loss of parking & and increase in fees, more traffic, more unwanted behaviour (due to alcohol), more gambling (loss for locals). It seems that there is more of a push for tourist advocacy instead of catering to the needs of the local community.

The CEO of Childs Vision is the head of this project and he is advocating for his local community and the indigenous peoples who once again are at the back of this decision to add another casino that is on the bottom of the tourism list on the already greatly populated Gold Coast. This project boasts aboriginal originality & culture, providing traditional foods, accommodation, dances, Storytimes, walkabouts, while having the opportunity to teach the local and visiting community what it means to be an Aboriginal Australian.

This project is backed by some big names that are not being released although, should we really have to be asking to have what belongs on land that was stolen from the Aboriginals.

Tyson conquered his Dolphin dreams
Tyson was quiet to begin with, but after some time at the penguins feeding we went to watch the Seal Show, where we really saw the excitement fill Tyson’s eyes. The family was stoked with their Childs Vision Superfood pack full of nutritionally abundant products. Tyson and his family shared so many priceless moments as we strolled around taking in the wonders and thrill of SeaWorld.
Tyson’s cheeky smile made an appearance many times, he loved meeting his new dolphin friend, she did jumps and twirls for him, and enjoyed being fed and petted by him and they waved goodbye to each other. It was magic to see him light up and difficult to keep him away from jumping in with him!
A truly special moment watching the family enjoy Tyson’s dolphin meeting. It really is something that stays with you. Tyson & his family enjoyed a lovely lunch together and he got some gifts, as a token to remember the day. Although we are sure the memories of the day will be kept close for a very long time. It was a special day, and a warm loving family was able to create many memories together and enjoy each other’s company stress free.
Thank you so much to our generous sponsors. Without your help we would be unable to assist these families in need.
Thank you so much to SeaWorld and their amazing trainers that make this time so amazing.
Thank you everyone for your support.

Thursday, 25th May 2017

Tyson & his family also visited the Illness Support Holiday House on the Gold Coast. Staying in the Childs Vision Holiday House gives families time to spend together without the normal stress of day to day life. Tyson & the whole family had an amazing time away from their every-day life in and out of hospital.

Joshua is a young independent 16 year old boy who is suffering from Down Syndrome & Autism; he also has to carry around with him an oxygen tank and drips to keep him alive. Childs Vision was more than happy to help this young boy tick some activities off his wish list.

He was treated to spend time learning how to drive a boat on the open water. Joshua had a blast doing this speeding up in open areas and taking control of the wheel, with CEO Grant aiding when needed.

When he reached top speeds and felt the wind come through the top of the boat he would get excited and throw his hands up in excitement. Grant let him drive out the seaway in which Joshua exclaimed “I can see the World”!!

The team all worked together to help carry his facilities (oxygen tank, drips, medications) in order to escort him onto the boat, everyone teamed up to walk him down the ramps and up onto the boat. He was very protective of his “Buddy” (Oxygen tank) although he did need help from the Childs Vision team to get it across the jetty & from the deck to the boat.

He had an excellent time, with smiles from ear to ear.

Tuesday, 28th March 2017

Joshua is a beautiful 16 year old boy who is suffering from many illnesses and when Childs Vision found out that had a bucket list, we were more than happy to help this boy have the best Big Day Out that he would always remember. Joshua was taken on a trip to SeaWorld all expenses paid by Childs Vision. Joshua’s mother & family friend explained that this was a life changing experience as he is continuously in and out of hospital or sick at home, therefore this was a great encounter for all of them which will be a memory that will not quickly fade.

Joshua did have some trouble warming up to the idea of patting the dolphins as his illness intensifies his sound surroundings which can be extremely hard for him to deal with, although once Childs Vision showed their compassion and patience he warmed up to the idea of patting the dolphins and then had the greatest time of his life. Joshua sat down right next to a gentle dolphin named Scooter, and she even let him give her a kiss. Needless to say after this he was all smiles from ear to ear, the instructor even gave him an opportunity to take control and do some tricks & feed her. Childs Vision also wanted to top the day off for him by buying him a close to life sized Dolphin from the SeaWorld gift shop.

Joshua also got to watch the Seal show, see the penguins, and also a polar bear.

He said he had a great day, and had lots of fun.

A big thank you to SeaWorld for your support & friendly services.

Joshua is a kind hearted 16 year old boy who has been dealing with his illnesses since birth, Down Syndrome & Autism he has to carry around with him an oxygen tank and drips to keep him alive.

Childs Vision wanted to make him feel like the most special boy in the world, they achieved this by paying for 2 nights in the Marriott Resort on the beautiful Marina; this was followed by a dinner for the whole family all expenses paid. Josh had an amazing time staying in the Marriott and couldn’t wait to go back to the hotel room, and the amazing pool where he could swim next to the fish.

Childs Vision strives to improve the quality of life for Josh whose family friend Chrissy had said 'It was great for him to experience these things as he is always in and out of hospital or remaining indoors due to illnes'.

Thank you so much Surfers Paradise Marriott Resort & Spa for your support.

C.E.O the head of the Gold Coast Charity Childs Vision is pushing for an Indigenous Dreamtime Cultural Centre at the Gold Coast Spit

There is hope that the controversial development would not be built and turned over to it's traditional owners for an 'eco-friendly' project. The land used for this project would be controlled and protected by Aboriginal rangers as a heritage-listed site for the local general public and tourists to enjoy as they always have done.

On Tuesday the 24th of January, the CEO and Event Manager of Childs Vision, Grant and Jacqueline, took Scarlett and her family to Sea World for the day. A big part of this experience for Scarlett was being able to go see Dolphin Evie to pat, feed and train her.

Scarlett is a young girl with Leukaemia who has been struggling and Childs Vision wanted to give them a break and have an adventure together as a family.

Upon arrival at SeaWorld Scarlett was greeted with an ice-cream and a fresh orange juice while watching the Dolphin Show, after the Dolphin Show Scarlett and her family were taken backstage to play with the dolphins. This is when Scarlett was allowed to get into the water with the Dolphins to feed and train them with the supervisors. Grant loved how much fun Scarlett and the family were having so he treated Scarlett to a pink dolphin toy and she was ecstatic to receive.

Mantra Sun City donated a one night stay for the family and they were then taken out to dinner compliments of Childs Vision with Earl, one of our charity fundraisers who was first alerted to the family being in need.

From all of us at Childs Vision we hope that this trip was a nice break for Scarlett and her family from the constant treatment.

On the 13th of December the Childs Vision Team visited the Tweed Hospital Paediatric Ward and delivered some much needed Christmas cheer to the Hospital’s cutest little patients. We gifted the children with presents and big smiles as they may not be home for Christmas.

This time of year is our busiest, but definitely the most rewarding, time of the year. It demonstrates to us the effect and real value of what we set out to do at Childs Vision. The joy and excitement on the faces of these children made it all irrefutably worthwhile.

Thank you so much to the amazing staff, fantastic donors and sponsors for making this a possibility.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas time is always the most exciting and magical time of the year for young children.

However, the harsh reality for families of children with terminal and life threatening illnesses that the mounting financial pressures can dull the Christmas sparkle as they cannot afford the Christmas luxuries they wish to as a result of the large expenditure on treatment and care.

On Tuesday the 13th of December the Childs Vision Team, alongside our excited team of Elves and Santa donned their festive best and sacks overflowing with gifts and visited the Children’s wards of the Gold Coast University Hospital. There were big smiles all ‘round!

We would like to say a big thank you to all those Sponsors and donors that have made this possible, and wish you all a very Merry Christmas and happy, healthy New Year from all of us in the Childs Vision Team.

On the 9th of December, Childs Vision took almost 100 terminally ill children and their family members to Movie World’s White Christmas.

The sparkling world of fairy lights and glittering, snow covered streets lit up all of their beautiful faces. They experienced everything the spectacular event had to offer including the magical street parade and snow falling from the sky. It was so amazing to see how much fun they all had.

The memories that these children and their families created that night will be treasured forever and would not have been possible without the help of Childs Vision's amazing sponsors.

Monday, 5th December 2016

Childs Vision met Aiden and Mya at the Gold Coast University Hospital last year whilst delivering Christmas gifts. The siblings were spending the Christmas season in hospital with their condition, Cystic Fibrosis and so this year, our charity wanted to make sure that their Christmas was an exciting one!

From the 5th – 10th of January we sent the family to the Tangalooma Island Resort where they all enjoyed breakfast, boating, dolphin feeding and many other exciting things. We are sure that this holiday made their family’s Christmas very memorable.

Thanks to our generous sponsors and donators for your ongoing support that enables us to create such memories.

Friday, 25th November 2016

On Friday the 25th of November, the CEO and director of Childs Vision, Grant and Glenn, took Jack and his family to SeaWorld for the day. A big part of this experience for Jack was being included in the dolphin pat, feed and train.

Jack’s illness requires him to be in a wheelchair, which is always tough on families. To add to the special day Grant and Glenn pushed Jack’s wheelchair around so the family could just relax and have fun with their other kids.

Due to Jack being in a wheelchair he was unable to get down and pat the dolphins, so Grant and Glenn carried him over to the water so he didn’t miss out on such an amazing experience.

Seeing the happiness on Jacks face was an amazing experience for the family, and at the end of the day there was a surprise of a big fluffy dolphin waiting for Jack when he left purchased by Childs Vision.

Thank you so much to all of our dear sponsors, including SeaWorld, without any of you these experiences for the families would not be possible.

Friday, 25th November 2016

Ramon has been awarded the Bravest Child of the Year 2016 by Childs Vision. On Friday 25th of November Childs Vision’s Brisbane manager, Shane personally gave Ramon his gifts and went to spend a couple hours with Ramon and his family.

Ramon got given a certificate with his name on it stating he is the Bravest Child of the Year for 2016, a brand new touch pad for Harvey Norman, a football from Amart Sports Bundall and a weekend stay for him and his family sponsored by the Marriott including buffet breakfast.

It was lovely to see a big smile on Ramon’s face. It was the first smile anyone has seen since his sister passed away in front of him in January with the same illness, ‘cystic fibrosis’. Ramon certainly deserves this award.

Thank you so much to the Marriott for the weekend voucher.

And a very special thank you to Ramon for being so brave after everything he has been through and is going through and for showing a great example for other children.

We were told that Harrison was very sad and felt alone until we sent him a personalised message from the team to let him know we were thinking of him along with an early Christmas present. The photo speaks for itself.

Sharni was in for a treat when Childs Vision organised a day out for Sharni and her loving family at Sea World - Gold Coast, Australia for a dolphin pat. The Childs vision team found out Sharni wanted to be a dolphin when she passed. Sharni didn't know that she was going to get private time with two beautiful dolphins that she would pat, train and feed.

Sharni is a beautiful, loving girl and deserves the best in life without having to go in and out of hospital. To add to the experience we had a surprise guest waiting to spend the day with her, 'Winner of Kids Voice in Deltra Goodrem's team, Alexa Curtis'.

Its the happiness from Sharni and her family that motivates Childs Vision to do what they do. Thanks to all of our sponsors, including Sea World, without all of you none of this would be possible.

Rowans’ cheeky smile made an appearance many times, he loved meeting his new dolphin friend Kiama, Kiama did jumps and twirls for Rowan, and enjoyed being fed and petted by him and they waved goodbye to each other. It was magic to see him light up and difficult to keep him away from jumping in with him!

A truly special moment watching the family enjoy Rowans dolphin meeting. It really is something that stays with you. We enjoyed a lovely lunch together with the family and got Rowan a small gift, a token to remember the day. Although we are sure the memories of the day will be kept close for a long long time. It was s special day, and a warm loving family was able to create many memories together and enjoy each others company stress free, Thank you so much to SeaWorld and their amazing trainers that make this time so amazing. Thank you everyone for your support.

Payton had a splash with his new friend Scooter the Dolphin!

Payton from Mudgeeraba Special School was in for a treat with Childs Vision taking him and his family to Sea World - Gold Coast, Australia for a dolphin pat! Words cannot describe the joy that filled the hearts at Childs Vision when Paytons’ dad said that the day had meant the world to them, one they would never forget. Payton is a beautiful boy, full of so much life and joy. To have shared this magic day with him and his family was so special. The day began with a visit to his happy feet friends; the Penguins, where he watched them being fed and did a little dance with them too.

The Dolphin show was fantastic, Payton pointed and laughed, and made a game of getting everyone to help him shoo any bird etching closer to him and his brothers and sisters popcorn. Payton was invited to the stage where he pet and fed and even gave the signal for his new dolphin friend to make a flip for him.

The hand sign for shark, and the infamous sound theme was echoed throughout the day, until finally we made it to Shark Bay, where a beautiful moment of relaxation and sharing between family and Childs Vision Carers was had while taking in the view from the underwater aquarium.

It’s smiles just like Paytons that motivates Childs Vision to do what it does. And of course our sponsors like SeaWorld and all our contributors make that all possible.

Thank you so much!

Hi Everyone from Childs Vision,

I am just wanting to say a huge thank you on behalf of Rowan and my family for arranging our island getaway to Tangalooma Island Resort.

It has been a massive year for Rowan dealing with a long list of varying illnesses and not always being able to locate light at the end of the tunnel to solve these issues for him. So when we received the call from your organization to say we had been chosen for this holiday i can't put into words at how needed that was right at that point in time.
On a lighter note let me tell you about the holiday we enjoyed the boat ride over to Tangalooma the weather was perfect 26 sunny when we arrived at the island the staff were great getting us into our room quite quickly so we could get settled then we set off to have a look around the island and check out the facility's and activity's on offer, Our Whale watch cruse was cancelled a couple of times due to the wind being to strong to go out so we ended up opting to do the land version of the whale watch via 4WD Tour this was fantastic Rowan had a ball giggling every time we went over a bump he also loved looking out the window at the beach right beside our 4WD bus as we drove along the beach and saw dolphins just off shore the tour took us up to the light house and we still got to see the Whales playing and breaching below magical to see.
Rowan also enjoyed the 4WD safari tour that we did i thought he may be able to do the sand tobogganing until the guide said you will be traveling at 50-60k's down a 70mtr hill so both John and I (Tracy) tag teamed having a go while Rowan happily played in the biggest sandpit in the world eating it at times and thinking that was quite funny.

The beach wheelchair Rowan loved being in that with his dad running up and down the beach with him in it at one stage it looked quite funny as a segway tour was coming up behind them and it looked like they where being chased by a mass of segway's guess you had to be there.

We all really enjoyed doing the fish feeding and shipwreck tour Rowan loved being out on the pontoon boat he had the best seat in the house he was transported on board in the beach wheelchair which put him in the best view point on the boat we saw Green Sea Turtles, Due gong, Dolphins, a mass of beautiful fish came from no where when you sprinkle to food of the side and of course the shipwrecks could have quite easily done this a couple of times so relaxing for all of us the water was so clear and calm and the weather was perfect on that day.
We went and watch the Kookaburra's being fed all sitting up on the post's waiting and laughing at people we also watch the Pelican's being fed.

We went down to the Dolphin feeding on 3 night's as Rowan seemed to really enjoy watching them splashing in the water not sure what he could see but he enjoyed the atmosphere but we didn't opt to take him down to feed them as the wind was quite cold by that time of the night however i couldn't resist the chance to do that so even though i froze waiting for my turn i did manage to feed the Dolphins at Tangalooma and Rowan was quite excited watching me awesome experience.
Rowan's most enjoyed having the option of a buffet breakfast each morning he ate very well very happy and content young man.

We had a fantastic time away and can not thank you enough we came back with a renewed spring in our step. Your support means an awful lot to family's even if they don't realize they need it before it happens speaking from experience i would never in my wildest dreams approached anyone for the type of support you make available to family's and my family being on the receiving end of that support are so very grateful.

Kind Regards

Tracy, John and Rowan

What a perfect day for a bike ride!

Yesterday the Childs Vision Team were delighted to see the faces of the Mudgeeraba Special School kids as they received their brand new bikes delivered and donated by Childs Vision.

Mudgeeraba Special School is a state school for special students with a diagnosed intellectual impairment and secondary impairments including vision, hearing, physical and Autism disorders.
These bikes mean that the kids get to have more fun! And fun for the kids is a main focus of Childs Vision.

All this would not be possible without our retail sponsor Kmart.
Huge appreciation and thanks for their support

Many thanks to all our supporters, every donation counts, every smile because of you!

Jai is only 5 but he has already had major surgery on his bowels, and still faces issues with them, he also has Autism. Jai is the middle child in a family of 5, with his oldest brother Bradley, another Childs Vision child having a heart condition requiring frequent visits to hospital.

This family truly deserves the time to relax and embrace the magnificence of life and each other; so Childs Vision put them all up at SeaWorld Resort to submerge in beautiful holiday atmosphere. With 5 days of unlimited access to rides, live shows, sea creatures, family fun and paradise vibes Jai was buzzing when we met up with him and the gang on Wednesday 27th to spend the day together. This brave little boy had no problems jumping aboard his surprise helicopter ride and marveling at the spectacular view of the East Coast.

It was a day that melted the hearts of the Childs Vision Team as Jai and his family met, pat and kissed Merky the dolphin. And after lunch was a real delight for Jai; the Childs Vision Boat Cruiser taking us out to the vastness of the ocean where a mother wale and her cub played around us!

It truly was a day to light up life, warm the heart and lift the spirit, and for Jai and his family this is exactly what Childs Vision lives to do. All this wouldn’t be possible without our amazing sponsors.

Thank you SeaWorld Resort, Grill’d in Harbour Town, Southport Yaught Club, and Marina Mirage Moorings.

Bradley has a heart condition that requires frequent visits to the hospital. Bradley’s 5 year old brother Jai also has health problems. Bradley is an animal lover and has a big heart, a great big brother for the 4 other siblings, this family has allot on their plate. Childs Vision was delighted to give this beautiful and well deserving family an opportunity of a life time; to experience a paid for holiday at SeaWorld Resort for a week.

We met up with Brad and his family to spend the day with them and lay out the surprises we had in store! The Childs Vision Team was just as excited as Bradley as he jumped aboard the SeaWorld helicopter for the realization of a childhood dream! He then couldn’t take the smile off of his face, getting up close and personal with Merky the dolphin; this animal lover was enthralled by this beautiful sea creature. Another magic memory was created when on the Childs Vision Boat Cruiser where Bradley looked out in awe at a mother wale and her calf playing around us as we cruised the ocean.

To top off the day Childs Vision gave Bradley a brand new bike! Plus a huge superfood pack, family dinner vouchers to Grill’d and Southport Yaught Club; his old Childs Vision bike had truly outgrown him.

It’s thanks to Childs Vision sponsors that Bradley got to have this wonderful time with his family. The Childs Vision is in such happiness at having been able to make all this happiness celebrated for Bradley and his family.

Thank you so much for your amazing support

Childs Vision is so happy to have this project ball rolling!

This is the beginning of something special as Yipirinya School receives their delivery from Childs Vision. The school received paints, brushes and canvases.

The smaller canvas size was thoughtfully chosen by Childs vision to gift to Yipirinya School as its modest size is of great appeal and effect within the tourism market. Childs Vision aims to cancel out the sale of fake indigenous art; a really sad issue for Australian Culture. By producing authentic works on this smaller sized canvas the purchased artworks of the Yapirinya School students can then be carried in travellers' backpacks no worries. To then be shared all over the world as authentic gifts that support Yipirinya School Students and their indigenous Australian culture!

Wednesday, 13th July 2016

Blank canvases have now been delivered to Uluru Cultural Centre in Alice Springs, and how excited the Childs Team is to see what unfolds.

The beautiful Uluru Cultural Centre will teach local Aboriginal kids to paint on these canvases. The paintings will then be exhibited and sold at the Centre to tourists.

Childs Vision is happy to be supporting the production of local and authentic indigenous Australian art, helping to maintain that the oldest culture in the world is kept alive. Childs Vision Canvases are for smaller works of art, so they are convenient for travelers to take home. The money that is made from the paintings sold will all go towards a local community initiative of the kids choice.

How exciting!

Ramon suffers from Cystic Fibrosis and has been with Childs Vision from the very beginning through good and bad times. This year has been really hard for him as he tragically lost his older sister to Cystic Fibrosis. Childs Vision is always there for the whole family trying to support them and put a smile back on their faces by surprising them with adventures of a lifetime.

Childs Vision invited the whole family over to Gold Coast to have a fun filled worry-free holiday in Paradise Resort. It’s definitely the best place to forget about all the problems and enjoy life as there is so much to do for children and adults likewise. They stayed there for 5 nights and discovered everything the Resort had to offer from giant waterpark to the playgrounds. Ramon and his little sis enjoyed splashing in the water and took some time to relax in the spa.

During their stay Surfers Paradise Coles donated a food voucher for them to buy all the necessary food items. To top it all off Ramon and his family also enjoyed a dinner out donated by a family friendly Pizza Restaurant in Coolangatta.
It was a well needed holiday and they really had the time of their lives.

Thank you dear Donors

On Saturday, 25th July Childs Vision Captain Koala Rides Truck was at Brisbane Speedway USA Monster Trucks & FMX Unleashed. The rides truck was busy all night long with hundreds of thrill seekers waiting for their turn to have a ride in a real Monster Truck. The ticket money collected will go to help children with life threatening illnesses.

Childs Vision invited 10 families to the Monster Truck event to spend a nice day out together. One of the families to receive that gift was Stewart family who really needed some quality time as a family. Little Payton felt better snuggled safely on the first row seat watching the show with his dad Peter while Elara and Javaan jumped up and down from excitement waiting for their Monster Truck ride. It was the first time for them to visit a Monster Truck event and they were really grateful for the chance to experience it together. We couldn’t be happier for them and are really glad that the family could attend the event!

Huge thanks to the organisers for helping us to raise funds at the event. Also, big thanks to all of the people supporting us and donating to help sick kids.

Childs Vision Boat Cruiser has been a valuable companion for the charity providing families with fun and excitement already for a couple of years. Lately we started noticing that all those countless trips, exposure to sunlight and water had left their mark and the boat was starting to look old and tired already. It was obvious that our old friend was in desperate need for some pampering. So we gathered our volunteers and supporters to give the boat a much needed makeover this week.

We are so happy for all the help that we received during the whole process:

• Gold Coast City Marina Coomera lifted the boat out from the water and did the blasting.
• Sea Spray who offers a complete boat maintenance package polished the boat making it look bright and shiny again.
• My Marine Service enhanced our future boating experience with the amazing work they did with the engine.
• Nauti Covers who are the specialists in all marine trimming and upholstery fixed all the covers, roof and seats.
• Glenn was one of the main volunteers who anti-fouled the boat along with other volunteers who helped out.

We would like to send out huge thanks to My Marine Service, Sea Spray, Nauti Covers, Gold Coast City Marina Coomera and wonderful Childs Vision volunteers who gave their helping hand making the boat look like brand new again.

STOP PRESS - DOOMBEN MONSTER TRUCK EVENT VENUE and date changed to Saturday 25th June 2016.

Due to severe weather warnings predicted for this coming weekend management have exercised its right to postpone the event and change location to (Brisbane International Speedway) Archerfield Speedway 63 Colebard St West, Archerfield Queensland 4108

We hope you understand and Monster Truck Promotions Australia Pty Ltd apologise profusely for any inconvenience caused but the team are working extremely hard to provide a number of additional incentives and improvements to the program previously offered which will hopefully improve the experience and make up for any inconvenience.

Further details and updates will be provided in the upcoming days. Any questions should be emailed to questions@monstertruck.biz.

Please rest assured that this decision is not a decision that has been taken lightly. Although it was financially in our interests to proceed with the event, this is a family event and it would be unfair to children and all involved to hold the event and expose young children and families to potentially dangerous storms. There also were major concerns about the safety and suitability of the Doomben Venue as stadium staff refused to discuss potential things which needed to be put in place due to the wet weather.

Full program as previously advertised will now be increased for any inconvenience caused.

• Please Note all Gold Seating Sold Out
• Limited Silver Ticket only is available
• General Admission is Still Available.

WE will provide further updates when it is possible and we thank you again for your patience.

Doomben Racecourse roared today as Pauline Hanson, leader of the One Nation Party and one of the country’s best known Politicians, teamed up with Monster Truck drivers and conquered the seat of a real 1600 horse powered V8 Monster Truck. She smashed two vehicles painted red and blue, Liberal and Labour Branded, to draw attention to her campaign in the federal election and to show her support to Childs Vision.

Pauline Hanson told media that she believes Childs Vision is a very worthwhile charity to support and that she is blessed to have all her children and grandchildren safe and healthy. She drew everyone’s attention to how Childs Vision helps children with life threatening illnesses giving them a much needed five-star lifestyle.

Afterwards, Ms Hanson met Childs Vision Bravest Child of the Year, 10 year old Alexander, suffering from an extremely rare form of Celiac disease. Alex got the long awaited chance to drive with a Monster Truck under the watchful eye of experienced drivers. He couldn’t stop smiling as he was having the time of his life.

Great to see Childs Vision branching out to support and keep alive the Aboriginal heritage for generations to come will not miss out on their amazing culture. Grant visited the heart of Australian Outback, Alice Springs. The idea was to explore the endless opportunities that this part of Australia has to offer and get to know the amazing people there. Also to collect valuable information to proceed with Childs Vision Aboriginal project.

During Grant's research in Alice Springs he managed to establish valuable partnerships regarding Childs Vision Aboriginal project and also visit Uluru where the true spirit of Aboriginal culture lies. Alice Springs Yipirinya School and Uluru Cultural Centre are on board and first steps to establish an art program have already been made.

Childs Vision will provide canvases framed ready to paint on and canvas for creating bookmarks. We will also provide them with paint for the artists to teach the local aboriginal kids.
The art pieces will be sold to the tourist market and the funds kept for the kids. The kids will be asked what they want it spent on to support their local community.
Whilst Grant was in Alice Springs, Childs Vision also paid for all the canvases and paint for three local ladies Peggy, Eva and Margaret as a gift from Childs Vision to sell their beautiful unique art in the Sunday markets at Alice Springs.

Childs Vision met Carly earlier in 2016 and from the very first sight it was obvious that there was so much light and positivity in this girl. Her bright smile and joyful attitude won us over momentarily.

When Carly was in the hospital waiting for her second lung transplant Childs Vision decided to go there and please her with a surprise visit. We prepared a goodie bag filled with superfoods, motivational reading material, coloring books and a big fluffy Rainbow Easter Bunny for her to cuddle. Grant and Steph even took raw cacao powder and cups with them to enjoy a wholesome hot drink all together. This was honestly the best hospital visit that we’ve ever experienced filled with warmth and laughter. We created so much noise that at one point nurses had to come and see if everything is fine. Our joyous atmosphere left them laughing as well.

Carly was an exceptional girl with so many colorful dreams and great plans for the future. She was really excited doing a charity bike ride to raise money and awareness in the fight against Cystic Fibrosis. Her kindness and ability to always stay positive were truly remarkable. She couldn’t wait to get out of the hospital and start living life to the fullest. She even decorated her hospital room to look more comfortable and homelike.

Carly truly was a ray of sunshine who shared her positive thinking and laughter with everyone surrounding her. She will always have a special place in our hearts and will be deeply missed.

Warmest wishes and good thoughts to you our sweet little angel wherever you are looking over us all with your sincere smile and bright eyes.


Childs Vision would like to send our deepest condolences to Carly’s family, friends and relatives.

Always yours,
Childs Vision Team

On the 27th of May Childs Vision team spent a fun-filled day with Jayden and his family adventuring through Sea World and enjoying a poolside lunch.
Jayden suffers from Muscular Dystrophy which is a hereditary condition marked by progressive weakening and wasting of the muscles. He is doing really great and the family tries not to focus on his condition but to enjoy life while spending a lot of time together.

The day at Sea World started with Fish Detectives Sea Lion Show as Jayden had never seen it before. The show was much fun for everybody and the day went even better from there on. Childs Vision volunteer Cassie took the boys for some whirling fun on the Spinning Teacup Ride and to pat the curious stingrays down in Ray Reef.

The Dolphin Show was definitely the highlight of the day especially because Jayden was lucky enough to meet one of the dolphins up close, feed her and give her a nice pat. This put a big smile on Jayden’s face and he would have spent hours feeding fish to the dolphin. The whole family was blown away by those spectacular animals.

Everybody was feeling hungry after visiting Sea World so they headed off for a lunch with Childs Vision Cruiser. The surprises didn’t end there as the family was given a much needed weekend getaway with free accommodation and food provided by Coles.
Unfortunately for us we received a really rude welcome in Couran Cove that questions our future cooperation with them. Their behavior with Childs Vision team and with the family was simply unbearable to say the least. We are really sorry for the family to have seen such unprofessional settlement.

Happily Jayden and his family still managed to spend a nice weekend there after all the problems.

We would like to thank all our beautiful sponsors – Sea World, Marina Mirage Mooring, Coles. Thank you so much for your continuous support!

Harrison from Newcastle has been fighting with Haemophilia for a long time and has to spend every 2nd day in hospital. This week, he and his family enjoyed a much needed break with Childs Vision Illness Support Program. They arrived to Gold Coast airport on 26th April and were driven to lovely Paradise Resort for a 5 night stay by Childs Vision driver Glenn.

Their holiday started off with Childs Vision team Shane and Sonny meeting them at SeaWorld where Harrison was about to get the surprise of his life. They had a lot of fun watching the penguins and stingray feeding but the highlight of the visit was the Dolphin Show. Harrison received his surprise after the show when he met one of the dolphins, could pat her and feed her some fish. The funny thing was that the dolphin was also named Sonny just like Childs Vision member Sonny. That made the encounter even more special and caused a lot of joy for everyone. Before heading to Childs Vision Boat Cruiser they also visited Shark Bay because sharks are Harrison’s favorite.

The day was going perfect as they cruised towards Couran Cove Island Resort. Harrison received his lesson on how to drive a boat from the captain and couldn’t stop smiling from excitement. They had a delicious lunch on the island that they also shared with wallabies. To top it all off they got to drive with Childs Vision golf buggy and check out the soon to be opened Island Holiday House.

It was such a wonderful day for everybody filled with happiness and laughter. A day among many other beautiful days during Harrison’s holiday here on Gold Coast. Their next adventure was visiting Dreamworld and having a nice dinner at Marriott Resort.

Childs Vision sends biggest thanks to all of our wonderful donors and partners – SeaWorld, Marriott Resort, Paradise Resort, Couran Cove Island Resort, Marina Mirage Marina Office and Dreamworld.
Thank you so much for your continuous support!

Alexander is the only child in Australia suffering from an extremely rare form of Celiac disease where his body is highly affected by gluten. Any trace of gluten causes severe seizures that last 45 minutes.

Alexander was chosen the Bravest Child of the Year and given the opportunity to spend 2 nights at the Surfers Paradise Marriott Resort & Spa with his whole family. This was a much needed holiday to forget everyday problems and enjoy life. During the stay at Marriott Alexander also met Dolton and his family and they all had a relaxing spa day together. So much fun!

During their week with Illness Support Porgram Dolton and his family visited Dreamworld among other wonderful places. Dreamworld really is a place that has everything. There are thrilling rides, great entertainment and to top it all off little tiger cubs running around and brightening the days of visitors.

Dolton and his brother Leon had the wonderful chance to get up close with the cubs and pat them. The boys couldn’t be happier as this was an experience that they will never forget.
The day went even better as they managed to pat a koala and had fun in the waterpark afterwards.

Thank you so much Dreamworld for donating the tickets for the family.

Thursday, 31st March 2016

For the last two years, six year-old Dolton from Ballarat has suffered from Hereditary Spherocytosis, a rare blood condition which has forced the boy to have many blood transfusions, as well as having his spleen removed. Since the illness was discovered, Dolton has been constantly in and out of hospitals.

The Ballarat family had a really special week with Childs Vision as they were flown to Gold Coast for our Illness Support Program. This was the first ever holiday for the family so they were really looking forward for the adventure. The family was picked up from the airport by one of our wonderful volunteers (Glen) and driven to Paradise Resort for a 5 night stay. Paradise Resort is a great place to relax with kids as they have put a lot of effort in making the place truly heavenly with exciting things to do. Dolton and his family had a blast in the giant waterpark and really enjoyed spending time near the pool area.

One of the most anticipated things for the whole trip was the day of the boat cruise. The day started out with our awesome volunteer (Ashton) meeting the family in SeaWorld. It was a perfectly sunny day to enjoy all the wonders that SeaWorld has to offer. We spent a lot of time watching all the mesmerizing creatures and touched the stingrays as they hovered around in their special pools. The Seal Show has always been a crowd-pleaser and it didn’t disappoint us this time either. There’s just something in their essence that puts children laughing and cheering for them. Little did Dolton know that the highlight of our SeaWorld adventure was still coming as we rushed to see the Show of the Dolphins. Dolton experienced his once in a lifetime dolphin pat after the show. It took a long time for the excitement to fade away from his beaming face. This smile was the thing that makes our work worthwhile.
After having tons of fun in SeaWorld it was time to head off for lunch in Couran Cove Island Resort with Child Vision Boat Cruiser. Dolton and his brother Leon couldn’t get enough of splashing in the pools and everyone had a laugh as the boys fed the wallabies. We enjoyed a nice walk through the rainforest and pressed our tired feet into the warm sand as we made a small break at the beach before heading back.
The day was simply a dream come true for Dolton and his family. It was filled with animals, laughter and relaxation. They also received a superfood pack from us for boosting their health.

The boat cruise wasn’t the only fun adventure that the family took in that week. They also went to Dreamworld and glided down the fabulous water slides in Wet’n’Wild. The family stayed in luxurious Marriott hotel for the last two nights of their holiday.

It was a perfect week for Dolton and his family to forget all the problems and spend quality time together. We couldn’t have done it without our amazing supporters. Big thanks to all the people who have donated to us, Paradise Resort, SeaWorld, Couran Cove Island Resort, Dreamworld, Wet’n’Wild and Marriott. Thank you so much for helping us to bring back a smile on the child’s face.

Ramon has been with Childs Vision from the very beginning. Ramon suffers from Cystic Fibrosis which affects his ability to breathe; he is constantly in and out of hospital and has had many serious and almost tragic times throughout his life. Childs Vision is always there for the whole family trying to put a smile back on their faces.

On Saturday Ramon celebrated his 14th birthday. Childs Vision made a great surprise for Ramon and took him along with his family on a wonderful day full of joy and laughter. The day started out at Xtreme Karting in Pimpama where everyone enjoyed themselves appreciating a great track, a very well run organization and friendly staff. Ramon got a truly extreme experience when riding on the back seat of the two seater “Monster” kart steered by a professional driver. But the fun didn’t stop there and dirt started splashing when Ramon and his family got a chance to drive on an off-road track. It was hard not to notice those beaming smiles and thrilled faces when they stepped out from the karts.

The birthday party continued at Grill’d in Harbour Town which is one of the biggest Grill’d restaurants around. Ramon was really excited because he received the nicest welcome there. The staff was friendly and had prepared a table with balloons. In addition to the beautiful table the lovely manager and staff of Grill’d gifted Ramon a signed birthday card, an outstanding yellow soccer ball and a Nike bag. Ramon was over the moon because he really likes Nike. After all the excitement it was time to eat. Everyone had troubles choosing what to order since Grill’d has a really great menu with a lot of healthy options. Ramon ordered a burger that was delivered by our personal waiter. After enjoying the food and having nice conversations it was time for the final surprise – a banana flavored birthday cake made by Gold Coast Cake Supplies.
In the end of the day Ramon said that it was the best birthday he ever had.

Childs Vision would like to send huge thanks to all of our wonderful sponsors who made it all possible - Xtreme Karting, Grill’d in Harbour Town and Gold Coast Cake Supplies, Ashmore.

Happy birthday Ramon!

To our beautiful Kayla Childs Visions Bravest Child in the World will always remain in our Hearts.

Grant Hudson CEO of Childs Vision first met Kayla in 2012 at Mater Hospital located in Brisbane whilst doing his rounds of seeing what kids were missing to put a smile back on their face.

There was Kayla.

After Grant from Childs Visions spent some time with Kayla he found that she was promised a iPad from another charity but hadn’t received one. She desperately wanted to keep in contact with her family and friends while she was in hospital but could not. (Childs Vision surprised Kayla with her wish of a IPad the very next day and also included a superfood pack and a fluffy toy to cuddle).

Grant then asked Kayla certain questions of what she would like to do when the word dolphin swim came up. I will never forget the look on her face as tears ran down her face as she lit up like someone had finally turned a light on inside her soul. Her mother Carmen also noticed this happening and a stream of happy tears also started to flow from her eyes.

It was set, the dolphin swim was going to happen at SeaWorld on the Gold Coast. After Kayla had her swim with the dolphins she had the biggest smile on her face that no one could ever wipe off, Childs Vision released that the more we got her participating in life and everyday activity’s the more she forgot she was sick and the more amazing memories she had, her light shined brighter than ever, the more Kayla grew so did Childs Vision, till this brave girl made it to her lung transplant in 2014.
(Kayla is the reason Childs Vision now take all the sick kids for swims with the dolphins).

Kayla’s bright eyed attitude and lovely personally surprised all after spending time with Kayla. It was hard to believe this beautiful young girl was suffering with Cystic Fibrosis and was on a wait list of a lung transplant. Kayla had become one of child’s visions first long term children.

The fun didn’t stop there for Kayla with experiences such as whale watching, White Christmas, see the animals at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, Rides in a Monster Truck at our Monster Truck Spectaculars and a trip to Couran Cove Island Resort for the whole family and so much more, Kayla become a part of our life and our first ever Bravest Child of the Year in 2014 and went on the front cover of our first edition of Childs Vision Child Care Magazine 2014

Without Kayla Childs Vision would not be the same charity as it is today as all her experiences and events we have taken her to have become a part for our illness support health program.

To our dearest Kayla you will always have a peace of our hearts you will be missed more than words can say.

Love Always your Childs Vision Family

The Childs Vision Volunteers (Savannah) made Calvin’s day and his beautiful family with a once and a lifetime trip to Sea World and adventured on to the Childs Vision Boat Cruise as part of the Childs Vision Support Program.

The day start off at the at SeaWorld located in the Gold Coast, Calvin seamed not much himself until we started the day entering the doors at SeaWorld, as soon as Calvin saw the penguins his whole face lit up and Calvin became he’s bright and shining self, spending as much needed time mesmerized by these amazing creators, we then adventured on to see the new Creatures of the Deep exhibit which was a big hit for all.

As the Team adventured through SeaWorld a dolphin show was a highlight as Calvin experienced just how amazing these creatures really are, being able to see the way they live and play, straight after the show Calvin experienced a once in a life time dolphin pat, which he loved and brought some big smiles to his face, the watertight was defiantly a hit for both, due to one hot summers day ending in a splash fight between Calvin and the Dolphin.

After that it was off to lunch, on the Childs Vision Boat Cruise, as the Childs vision boat cruise turned into a cubby house, the boys really began to have fun.
As we made it to Coven Cove Island resort pizza was on the menu for Calvin along with a much need swim in the massive kids pool, the day was not complete without lots of ice cream as Calvin went for seconds.

Calvin and he family had an amazing day as they are normally are in and out of hospitals due to Leukaemia, but thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and our donors, they gave this brave boy and his family a chance to have fun and brought countless smiles to their faces.

Thank you donors and sponsors; Sea World, Marina Mirage Moorings, and Couran Cove Island Resort
Without you all none of this would be possible.

It has been a busy Christmas and New Year period for the Childs Vision Team, culminating in our last big event for a little while at the Beenleigh Monster Truck Spectacular on the 2nd of January.

It certainly didn’t disappoint with Clive and his incredible team putting on a breathtaking show full of FMX stunts, quad races, kids motor cross races, demolition derby and of course some serious monster truck action!

The highlight of the day by far was seeing our Childs Vision Kids Sean and Jayden and their families, and watching their grins squeals of delight getting their own ride in the Bear Foot monster truck, thanks to Troy, and got to be part of the Monster Truck parade.

Sean suffers from a growth deformity in his legs and feet, and Jayden suffers from Muscular Dystrophy; a hereditary condition marked by progressive weakening and wasting of the muscles. However neither of the boys has let that slow them down or dim their infectious enthusiasm and love for life.

And no Monster Truck show would be complete without the incredible fireworks display from KC fireworks. They really pulled out all the stops and gave the crowd their firework fix!

A huge thank you to all of our generous sponsors and donors, as without you none of this would be possible. Looking forward to the year ahead and thanks to all your support it will be the best year yet!

On Monday the 28th of December the Childs vision team was back on the road and off to the Sunshine Coast Monster Truck Spectacular. It was the first time in five years the Sunshine Coast Stadium has hosted the trucks, and it certainly delivered!

Featuring crowd favourites Outback Thunda, Tassie Devil, Lil Miss Thunda, Spirit of Australia, Spot and Scruffy. And the ever hilarious Syco Sam the upside-down rollover truck brought many laughs and squeals of delight from the kids.

The crowd was also wowed by the FMX displays and World Champion Clinton Moore, and the other stunt riders who really put on a show. Especially after one of their own was injured after his first jump, the boys went out and whipped up the crowd and delivered a truly awesome show with their jaw dropping stunts.

Then there was the incredible finale featuring Santa and the Christmas dancers, fire twirling and light show, Tranzilla the fire breathing dinosaur and of course an incredible fireworks display.
It was a night of fun for all who braved the winds and threatening weather, but held our and made the night a special and thoroughly enjoyable one.

A huge thank you to Bevan who won our Monster Truck Memorabilia Auction, all the crew at the Sunshine Coast Stadium and all our generous donors. We couldn’t do what we do without your support and generosity.

Saturday, 26th December 2015

On Boxing Day the Childs Vision Team headed off to the Archerfield Speedway for an afternoon of fun, dirt and noise, and boy did it deliver!

The arena was full of holiday makers after a fun family evening out to watch the racers battle it out on the track, and the monster trucks create carnage.

It was a wonderful evening full of smiles, flying dirt and great company for all, wrapped up with an incredible fireworks display.

A huge thank you to all the team at Archerfield Speedway for all your support and assistance on the night, and to all our generous donors. We couldn’t do all that we do without you!

On Sunday the 20th of December Childs Vision packed up and travelled down to the idyllic Byron Bay for a day of fun and merriment overlooking Main Beach at the iconic Beach Hotel.

We met up with our Childs Vision Byron team, and hit the ground running. There was face painting, Santa and his happy helper The Hand bringing smiles and candy canes to the kids (and a few kids at heart) and setting up for the incredible Lisa Hunt and her talented band.

The Beach Hotel set us up with a Karma Keg- a pop up bar with a keg, of which all the proceeds go directly to the charity, what an effective idea! By 5:30 the Keg was dry, so a BIG thank you to all who took one (or several) for the team and had yourself a merry afternoon. You really gave us a hand and all the money raised has already begun to make a massive difference.

The lovely Lisa Hunt delivered a knock out soulful performance and had everyone moving and shaking along.

And we surprised our star of the show Sean with a brand new bike presented by Lisa Hunt and our Byron Manager Ry, which put a beaming smile on his face and brought a tear to the eye.

It was an afternoon of merriment, smiles, laughter, great live music, dancing and good company. We hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did!

A huge Thank You to all the management and staff at the Beach Hotel for all your generosity and support. You all helped make the day so special, and thank you for inviting us back for Christmas 2016, so we hope to see you all there again next year!

Once again a very Merry Christmas and happy, healthy New Year from all of us here at Childs Vision.

Tuesday, 15th December 2015

Christmas time is the most exciting and magical time of the year for kids everywhere. But the harsh reality for families with children that have terminal and life threatening illnesses or injuries, is that the mounting financial pressures can dull the Christmas sparkle. Many families spend thousands on treatments and care and simply can’t afford the Christmas luxuries they would like to enjoy with their kids.

On Tuesday the 15th of December the Childs Vision Team donned their festive best and Santa sacks and went through the Children’s wards of the Gold Coast University Hospital, Tweed Hospital, and Lady Celinto Hospital Brisbane delivering gifts and some much needed cheer and smiles to those little ones who needed extra joy this Christmas Season.

Many of the children had been sad or crying on our arrival, but our jolly team of Elves and Santa Hand left all giggling and grinning when we left, parents and children alike.

This is the busiest, but most rewarding time of year for all of us here at Childs Vision; as it drives home the real value and effect of what we set out to do. The joy and excitement on the faces of these children made it all worthwhile and their happiness and bravery brings a tear to the eye.

We would like to say a big thank you to all those Sponsors and donors that have made this possible, and wish you all a very Merry Christmas and happy, healthy New Year from all of us in the Childs Vision Team.

Friday the 11th of December was one of the most anticipated events of the year in the Childs Vision calendar- White Christmas at Warner Bros Movie World. This is a highlight for both our incredible children and families but also for the Childs Vision Team.

It is a magical evening, when we can all let our hair down and enjoy the spirit of the season all together, enjoying all that Movie World has to offer.

The atmosphere and excitement was electric and it was a non-stop blur of laughter and smiles all night, adults and children alike! We were exhilarated by the rides, in awe of the Christmas light displays, and joy and wonder of the parade under the Christmas tree.

And as always a special thank you to our wonderful donors and sponsors, especially the team at Warner Bros Movie World for making this incredible evening a possibility. We couldn’t do it without your continued support and generosity.

We would like to wish everyone a very safe and Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year from everyone here at Childs Vision, and looking forward to a bigger and better 2016!

Wednesday, 9th December 2015

On Wednesday the 9th of December we did our last Dolphin Boat Cruise Experience for the year with the brave Zach and his beautiful family, and what a day it was!
Zach is six years old and has been receiving treatment for brain tumors, but despite this horrific ordeal, both he and his family are the brightest and most heartwarming people you could ever hope to meet.

It was a day full of excitement and surprises, with Zach jumping for joy on being told he was going to be able to meet his favourite animal one on one!

Zach and his brother Jake’s excitement and big smiles were infectious, and lasted throughout the day, from the Creatures of the Deep exhibit, laughing at the Fish Detectives Seal Show, watching the sharks and penguins and of course the big finale at the Dolphin Show.

After that Zach and his family got up close and personal with the lovely Jinx, and by the end of the experience Zach wanted nothing more than to dive in with his new friend.

Then it was out of the heat and away from the crowds and off to lunch and a swim Couran Cove on the Child Vision Cruiser. Zach showed us what a real aptitude he has for becoming a sea captain with his smooth and steady sailing!

It was a beautiful afternoon spent relaxing poolside with the wallabies and enjoying the calm and tranquility of Stradbroke.

The Childs Vision Team would like to say a special thanks all our generous donors and sponsors for making this amazing day possible for this wonderful boy and his family to have such fun quality time together, and for all their continued support over the course of the year. We couldn’t do what we do without you!

On Saturday evening on the 28th of November the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary opened its doors to local children and families suffering from chronic illness for its annual Dream Night at the Zoo event. This was the first year that the Childs Vision team has been lucky enough to attend this event with several of our families in our illness support program and has already become a highlight of the year.

It was all go, go, go from the moment of arrival with musicians, Christmas carols, animal meet and greets, professional photo opportunities, cultural dances, animal talks, rides on the mini train, BBQ dinner and even a visit from Santa! The friendly Sanctuary staff well and truly got into the spirit, dressing up for the occasion and making use of the face painting stalls with the kids.

Some of the highlights for the Childs Vision team were catching the train through the park with some of our families, bonding with the Kangaroos and the nighttime feeding demonstration with Boss Hog the saltwater crocodile. But by far the best part of the evening was seeing the joy and excitement in the faces and smiles of our families.

It was a truly a magical night that none of us wanted to end, adults and kids alike!

A big thank you to the friendly Staff and organisers at the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary for inviting us to be a part of this wonderful night, and giving our families the opportunity to experience the magic of Dream Night at the Zoo.

Thursday, 26th November 2015

The Childs Vision crew had a blast with Sartaj and his family on our excursion to Sea World and Childs Vision Boat Cruise as part of the Childs Vision Support Program.

We started the day off at Sea World exploring the new Creatures of the Deep exhibit which was a big hit and really set the tone for the rest of the day.

After that it was more fun and games, having a laugh at the Fish Detectives seal show, escaping the heat of the day watching the sharks from the cool of the underwater viewing platform and of course being transfixed by the dolphin show.

Sartaj was lucky enough to get a special one on one dolphin pat experience with one of the amazing dolphins, the baby of the group, Stella. The bond was there straight away, as Stella’s playful antics started a friendly water fight, giving everyone a chance to cool off! And no trip to Sea World would be complete without a ride on the Viking Flume, which left everyone soaking wet and grinning from ear to ear!

After that it was off to lunch, but not before Captain Sartaj gave us a heart racing boat ride! Then it was all relaxation and cooling off in the serenity of the pools at Couran Cove Island Resort on South Stradbroke Island.

Sartaj has Leukaemia, a cancer of the blood and bone marrow, but thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and our donors, they gave this brave boy and his family a chance to have fun and brought countless smiles to their faces.

Thank you donors and sponsors; Sea World, Marina Mirage, Moorings, and Couran Cove Island Resort
Without you none of this would be possible.

So, in order to bring a little bit of joy into this families life we wanted to take them for an amazing day out. We started the day by presenting Tori with one of our superfood packs to help keep her body strong and healthy and then we were off on our adventure. We all jumped aboard the Childs Vision Boat and started cruising down the Broadwater towards SeaWorld where Tori was about to get the surprise of her life. To Tori’s surprise she was about to have a splash with some dolphins and also have a pat. After this we hoped back on the Cruiser and went down to Couran Cove Island Resort where a beautiful lunch was waiting for them. To top it off Tori and her family travelled in style at Couran Cove as they had their golf buggy escort.
It was such a wonderful stress free day for Tori and her family to enjoy. It was so wonderful to see everyone smiling and enjoying themselves on this amazing program for sick children. Thanks to all of our sponsors and to everyone who donates to help us do this amazing work, without you it wouldn’t be possible.

The came. They saw. They conquered.
That was the story at the Gold Coast Convention Centre last night Saturday September 5 when the Childs Vision FMX Monster Truck Spectacular exploded into the tight little arena.
Outback Thunda, Spot, Tassie devil and the indoor debut of Lil Miss Thunda and son of Thunda all created carnage on the concrete surface in front of a great crowd.
After all the formalities of the opening parade it was time for the Monster Trucks to do what the crowd wanted to see and a sky wheelie competition was the opener along with the legend Outback Thunda being the first truck out. Thunda had the joy of the new cars and in the end despite a close contest from all the trucks Thunda was the overall crowd favourite and victor.
It was then time for Showtime FMX and what a show Gary Reid’s boys put on right from the onset the crowd were on their feet in a frenzy yelling for more.
Then the pace just continued to heat up! Troy Garcia driving Spot continued his winning ways taking the victory over Danny Patard in Tassie Devil who in turn managed narrow wins against Thunda.
Intermission came following a great display from the Toowoomba based Globe of Death team then straight after interval just as you thought the action couldn’t get any more extreme the ShowTime FMX All-Stars let loose with backflip after backflip.
It was now time for the business end of the night for the Monster Truck Spectacular.
Troy Garcia and Spot put in a solid performance then Danny Petard in Tassie Devil thrilled the crowd with a blockbuster freestyle but then the best was about to come. Out came Dave George in lil Miss Thunda hitting the cars with good rhythm then just as he came to an end out came Pat Featherby in Son of Thunda followed closely by the big Beast Outback Thunda and driver Clive Featherby.
Clive makes no secret that he loves driving indoors he came out full throttle and literally went wild then suddenly shot under the grand stand canopy to literally vanish in the pit area the crowd were standing cheering then suddenly a burst of Pyro flames and from the two sides of the enclosure burst both the Thundas together performing a medley of side by side jumps ending up on the two car piles together as then the entire cast of bikes and performers appeared back on the centre arena to thank the appreciative crowd.
All in all a great family night out all in the aid of a very great cause.
Let’s not forget what this night is all about raising awareness for the kid’s charity Childs Vision.
A massive thanks to Childs Vision CEO Grant Hudson who worked tirelessly to bring this wonderful event back to a brilliant facility. Also a huge thank to our signers on the night; Alexa Curtis, winner of the Voice Kids and Jenna Dearness-Dark for their amazing singing performances! What a pleasure to watch such talent.
Thanks to all for attending and to everyone who worked to make the show a success. We couldn't have done it with the help of every single person at the event! We really appreciate all the support! So a HUGE THANKS to everyone!

Kayla has been with us from the beginning; she suffers from Cystic Fibrosis and has not been very well lately. With the help of all the Childs Vision team and also Kmart & JB HI FI we have been able to get Kayla and her a family new TV for their home. This is just some of the awesome work that we do to help these children in any way we can. We also took Kayla to Kmart so that she could get some new clothing. She loved being able to go out to the shops and get to pick her own clothing. We try to do anything we can to help these children live as normal lives as possible.
Thank you to all the Childs Vision Team, Kmart and JB HI FI

Kayla and Ramon both suffer from Cystic Fibrosis, due to unforeseen circumstances recently we had a bit of a scare with Kayla and Ramon both. When the children had this scare we wanted to act quickly and give the family and children all the support we could! So in saying that we took the children and family on a weekend away at Couran Cove Island Resort as a part of our Illness Support Program. We wanted to bring some joy back into their lives by giving them this much needed vacation.
To start the day Kayla, Ramon and their family took a tranquil cruise on our Childs Vision Cruiser starting at Marina Mirage heading down to Couran Cove Island Resort. Once we arrived at Couran Cove we had a beautiful lunch with the children and family.
As well as going on this Childs Vison Boat Tour, Kayla and Ramon’s family enjoyed a weekend away at the Couran Cove Island Resort with breakfast every morning! This is just the kind of break the family needed with all the tough times they have gone through. They had a beautiful weekend holiday and it’s always a pleasure to see the smiling, happy faces of the children when they get to enjoy this much needed break out of hospital.

Ramon has been with Childs Vision from the very beginning. Ramon suffers from Cystic Fibrosis which affects his ability to breathe; he is constantly in and out of hospital and has had many serious and almost tragic times throughout his life. Ramon and his family have been struggling with living so far away from the hospital. The stress this put on the family was awful and we wanted to do whatever we could to help Ramon and his family.
Childs Vision helped Ramon and his family by donating new utilities for their home and also with moving closer to the hospital. Ramon’s illness is ongoing however we were able to do these small deeds which help him and his family out to make their time as stress and worry free as possible.
Just seeing the smile on Ramon’s face is thanks enough! A fridge, washing machine and microwave were donated to help with their move and give them the basic everyday items that all families need. Ramon now lives closer to the hospital which will make everyday life that little bit less stressful as he can continue to get the care he needs and isn’t too far away. Childs Vision always wants to do whatever they can to help in situations like Ramon’s. We just want to see these children healthy and happy and enjoying life to the best of their abilities.

Young Josh has a brain tumour and Cystic Fibrosis and Breanna has Cystic Fibrosis. Life has not been much fun lately but today they started their health illness support program from Childs Vision. It was a life changer when we met them early morning to start the day with a gifted superfood pack to begin working on their superfood intake. Then we went off to Seaworld for a splash completion with 2 dear dolphins who welcomed them with a smile.

The day was going perfect as we ventured down the broadwater in the Childs Vision Cruiser were Josh and Breanna learnt how to drive the boat with the captain. When we reached Couran Cove Island Resort there was an amazing lunch waiting for them. Just to top it off Get On Your Bike donated bikes for the kids to take the journey around the island in style to the deserted beach were the sand dunes are so beautiful.

It was a much needed day for the family and a great change from being in and out of hospitals.

Harrison from Newcastle has been fighting Haemophilia at a young age of 8 years old he spends every 2nd day in hospital. That all changed for the day after Childs Vision found out he had a dream to go in a monster truck so Childs Vision organised the most amazing day out with the Aussie champ Clive Featherby who drives Outback THUNDA. He got to ride slingshot with the Aussie champ. He then got to go and meet the Newcastle Knights the next day and meet the whole team in action. Just when he thought it was all over we gave him VIP seats at the monster truck event pulled him out front and centre in front of nearly 5000 fans and gave him a brand new BMX purchased by Childs Vision.

All of the players were wonderful and got pictures with Harrison; we are so happy that we can just do these little things with the community to help a little boy have an amazing day out of hospital and meet some sporting legends. A big thank you to the Newcastle Knights for letting Harrison be a part of their training session.

A Fantastic weekend at the Pimpama Extreme Go-Karting track with Ramon and his family, CEO Grant Hudson went alongside him and his family on their day out on the race track. A special thank you to the Pimpama Go-Karting centre for organising our session and having Ramon participate in racing the go-karts, and also showing Childs Vision support.

Ramon was all smiles, on his big race day racing Grant and his family. Ramon suffers from Cystic Fibrosis which affects his ability to breathe; he is constantly in and out of the hospital and has many serious and almost tragic times throughout his life. Childs Vision is more than happy to be there for the whole family in helping put smiles back on their faces.

Childs Vision set up a great surprise for Ramon having an Xtremely wonderful day full of joy and laughter. The day started out at Xtreme Karting in Pimpama where everyone enjoyed themselves appreciating a great track, a very well run organization and friendly staff. It was hard not to notice beaming smiles and thrilled faces when they stepped out of the karts. Ramon was then gifted with a Remote Control Monster Truck, so that he could continue tearing up the streets at home.

Childs Vision would like to send huge thanks to our wonderful supporters who made it all possible - Xtreme Karting, Pimpama.

Young 7 year old Connor had a surprise bike waiting for him after his dream had come true to ride in a monster truck in front of 10,000 people at the Rocky Stadium organised by Childs Vision. Dane from Childs Vision gifted Connor with his new bike and said the look on his face was priceless. Connor has Hemophilia the worst kind and spends most of his time in and out of hospital but this night was for him a star in all the kids eyes as he left the stadium.

About Hemophilia

Hemophilia is a rare bleeding disorder that prevents the blood from clotting properly, so a person who has it bleeds more than someone without hemophilia does. It's a genetic disorder, which means it's the result of a change in genes that was either inherited (passed on from parent to child) or occurred during development in the womb.


When most people get a cut, the body naturally protects itself. Sticky blood cells called platelets go to where the bleeding is and plug up the hole. This is the first step in the clotting process. When the platelets plug the hole, they release chemicals that attract more sticky platelets and also activate various proteins in the blood known as clotting factors. These proteins mix with the platelets to form fibers, and these fibers make the clot stronger and stop the bleeding.

Tuesday, 17th June 2014

Young 12 year old Bradley has a heart condition and has not had any good news for a long time until Childs Vision found him and took him on a ride that most kids dream about.

There has been another unexpected development with Riley this week. He's been diagnosed with turrets syndrome. The psychologist said that this was the first time ever he's seen it develop during treatment for a brain tumour and the is NO recorded documentation any about a similar case. He's now on extra medication and is showing signs of improvement.
I'll keep you all informed

Thanks

A brand new Guitar gifted from Childs Vision and Stewarts Music to Riley.

Riley with his awesome New Legacy Tribute Series Guitar with his Teacher jimmy (Left) and Nick (Right), owner of Stewart's Music. Music is something he is quite passionate about and loves playing, One of my favorite things in the world is seeing him play. When Riley was suffering from various symptoms prior to diagnosis. He was finding it hard to concentrate, even for a short amount of time. Shortly after he stopped practicing all together. I can't thank you all enough, for re-igniting Riley's passion for music , and all that Childs Vision have done for our Family.

Once Again thank you all those kind people who have been donating to help change the lives of children like Riley.

Christmas is a time that can be a tough for children and their families to spend in hospital.

But with the help of Childs Vision volunteers and the hospital staff, the Children's Hospitals around Australia were able to bring plenty of Christmas cheer to the children who were patients at the end of 2011. Even Santa visited some of the hospitals to help put a smile on the childrens faces. On Christmas Day, Santa handed out presents delivered by Childs Vision volunteers to all the children in the hospital. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making Christmas at the Hospitals a special day for sick children.

A huge thank you to all those special people who donated to Childs Vision Christmas Appeal before Christmas.

Riley is going well, we've been at the Royal Childrens Hospital now for nearly 4 weeks After being transferred from the Goldcoast Hospital.

We are due to start the next round of chemo on Monday. The only thing keeping us here is Riley's sodium levels. This is necessary to regulate the bodies blood volume, blood pressure, and fluid. This has come about due to an additional smaller germ cell tumor attached to his pituitary gland. The doctors are fine tuning his medication for this now. However this process will be thrown out of balance once the next round of chemo starts. I suspect that it will be easier to manage next time round and we will be able to go home sooner. Riley has begun to loose his hair, but he's not ready to shave it off just yet.

Thank you so much for your support.

The story is so heart breaking we are not going to release the details of what is happening apart from saying that we need urgent funds to help change his life now so that we can take the focus off what is before him by making some of his dreams come true.

Doing this will also help his beautiful family deal with the hardest time that lies before them. Please open your hearts and donate to this urgent Appeal for help.
