On the Friday before Mother’s Day this year, Mercy Health Foundation hosted its inaugural Mother’s Day High Tea Luncheon in the beautiful surrounds of the Rippon Lea Estate.
The stunning Rippon Lea Ballroom was awash with colour and filled with generous supporters who helped us raise over $35,000 for the Mercy Hospital for Women Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
We were honoured to hear from Maddie Francis, founder of NICU Cheer, who shared her moving story of her beautiful son Ashton who was born prematurely at Mercy Hospital for Women, where he then spent six and a half weeks in the NICU before finally going home with Maddie and her husband, Aaron.
A surprise donation from our event sponsor, Loan Ngo, owner of O’Brien’s Pharmacy, together with the support of the event attendees has allowed us to purchase two new cardiotocography (CTG) machines for Mercy Hospital for Women – an incredible achievement that will help to save the lives of many more babies.
Planning has already commenced for the 2024 Mercy Health Foundation Mother’s Day High Tea Luncheon and we would be delighted to have you join us again.
