Today, Brisbane radio station B105 broadcast live from the Radio Lollipop studio at the Mater Children’s Hospital, the first day of the Radio Lollipop Appeal weekend. The focus for the weekend was to raise awareness of Radio Lollipop for those fortunate enough in the community not to have had a sick child in hospital. The need for financial donations, ward visiting and fundraising volunteers is also being promoted throughout the weekend.

The Saturday afternoon show by Kiri was broadcast with regular Radio Lollipop special guest Ranger Stacey from Channel Ten’s Totally Wild, Jamie Charman from the Brisbane Lions, Roary from the Brisbane Roar, Channel Ten’s Bill McDonald, Labby from the B105 morning show and young 8 year old former cancer patient Jacinta and her mum Annalies were our Saturday special guests.

Our special guests were interviewed live on air by Kiri and Labby and then spent time up on the wards visiting the children who were unable to visit the studio.

It was fun and games down in the Radio Lollipop studio with face painting, craft activities, hat designing and painting available for all the children, and their families. B105 gave away temporary tattoo’s and stickers to everyone.

Check out B105’s Labby and Kiri with Radio Lollipop volunteer Chi.

Our very special thanks to Richard Barker, General Manager of Austereo and his B105 team including Mitch, Lisa, Bec, Kim, Maree and Nick for making it a very memorable day for all our children and their families. Also, a huge thank you to our special guests who donated their time to come in for wonderful appeal weekend.

We look forward to another fun filled day tomorrow.
