A 15-year-old Baldivis resident is among four young heroes using their artistic talents to support WA’s sick kids.

Hayley Topham has designed a Telethon donation card, which will be available at all Coles supermarkets across the State.

Hayley has experienced first-hand the important work that the charity does to support vulnerable kids and their families.

Hayley joined Muscular Dystrophy WA when she was three years old, after being diagnosed with multiminicore myopathy.

Hayley’s card design features a drawing of herself and Fat Cat at MDWA Camp — a social event held to help reduce isolation in adolescents living with neuromuscular conditions.

“I’m excited to have the opportunity to raise money for Telethon, providing support to kids like me and their families,” she said.

“Telethon has had a significant impact on my life and it’s great to be able to give back through my drawings. I hope that my cards will help to make a difference to the lives of other sick kids, and inspire others to get involved.

“I really encourage people to support this important cause in any way they can — every little bit makes a difference.”

The donation cards are available at all Coles supermarkets from $2 to $5 until October 17, with all proceeds going directly to Telethon.
