Radiomarathon Australia continues to extend its support to organisations that facilitate the learning and therapy required by children with physical and mental disabilities.

In recent months, Radiomarathon has made several donations. The following are some of the organisations that have received support from Radiomarathon in the first quarter of 2009.

Murdoch Children’s Research Institute received a donation of $12,000 from Radiomarathon. The Institute develops ways to prevent and treat conditions affecting babies, children and adolescents, helping them lead healthy lives. It conducts world-class research into a number of childhood conditions including heart diseases, arthritis, cancer, cerebral palsy, thalassaemia and other genetic disorders. Radiomarathon and Laiki Bank have been supporting research into thalassaemia at the Institute for a number of years.

ESTIA foundation of Australia provides 24 hour respite care for young adults with physical and intellectual disabilities. The service is available to people of all nationalities and denominations who reside in Sydney. ESTIA has recently achieved another major milestone, with the commencement of a third service, which provides Permanent Accommodation for individuals in need. Radiomarathon donated $30,000 to the Estia Foundation.

Oakleigh Greek Orthodox College “Sts. Anargiri” also received a generous contribution of $10,000 from Radiomarathon to install an elevator in the School to assist disabled students.

Each year about 30 organisations receive funds from Radiomarathon in Australia, which helps them to continue caring for hundreds of kids.
