Our new Heart Lung Machine
We held a celebratory event on Monday to thank the major donors and fundraisers who made the purchase of a new Heart Lung Machine possible. Over 700 people contributed to the funds needed to get this machine, which acts as the heart and lungs for a patient during bypass surgery. We were overwhelmed by the generosity of the community, both in dollar value and in the time and effort that went in to so many fundraising events. Thank you all.
This video explains a little more about how much it means to us:

Thank you, Australian Islamic Mission!
A very big thank you to the Australian Islamic Mission who organised a bike ride from Katoomba to The Children's Hospital at Westmead earlier this year and raised a whopping $21,000! The money is being put towards the Heart Lung Machine we need to enable us to perform life-saving surgeries on our tiny patients, so it will make a very big difference to many lives. A/Prof Gary Sholler (pictured right) was delighted to have an opportunity to thank Sadiq (left) from the AIM in person earlier today.

NRL Grand Final tickets help the Heart Centre
I have listened often over the years and therefore new you'd be the man that could make this happen....if possible of course?
I'm sending you this message from the Edgar Stephan Ward at the Children's Hospital, Westmead - where my now 15 day old son is recovering from life-saving heart surgery. To give you the brief rundown, we found out at the 20 week mark during pregnancy that he would need a bypass (arterial switch) within the first couple of weeks of life - he was 4 days old when complications brought the procedure forward...
