What a spectacular and record-breaking Telethon weekend it was. The Aquinas Community raised $46,269.00 which contributed to the record-breaking Telethon total, which was a whopping $62 million. We donated ALL of the money towards Research & Development, extensive study towards rare conditions (of which one of our very own Ollie Lim has been suffering from his whole life) and finally more importantly for the charities across Western Australia that make it possible for all sick people, particularly children in WA to live a happy life while battling their medical conditions.

I personally enjoyed the Telethon weekend. It was a great privilege being by my best mates side (Ollie Lim)… and being on live television twice in one day (not a bad thing if you ask me!) I’m also grateful for taking up my time to fundraise for Telethon, raising over $200.

All the best Ollie with your life mate, you are an inspiration and talented young man!

I’m privileged to call Ollie my friend.

When he needed a hand with raising money for Telethon at school with selling Fat Cats, I was willing to help out, selling them before and after school.

Isaac Lim is a friend of mine too, he’s Ollie’s brother, that is how I met Ollie.

Ollie is funny and kind.

On Sunday, I was lucky enough to join Ollie and the AC Middle School Choir in singing ‘O Happy Days’. We sang on the main stage at Optus Stadium. You may have seen us on TV. I felt really excited to perform with Ollie.

Ollie invited some Ac friends and friends from his Primary School in presenting a cheque to Telethon. Ollie aimed to raise $20k. He raised more than that.

Rio Tinto matched Ollie's fundraising contribution totalling over $46k. The best part of Telethon was to see Ollie so happy and to see him smiling.
