Fly For The Kids is a bold, national fundraising campaign from the Live Life Foundation, in partnership with the Royal Children’s Hospital, raising $4.5 million to establish Australia’s first dedicated Gene Therapy Ward for children with rare and complex genetic conditions. At the centre of this campaign is Associate Professor Andrew Kornberg, a senior pediatric neurologist and experienced pilot, who is flying solo around the entire Australian coastline – over 27,000km to raise awareness and vital funds for this game-changing initiative. On the crisp morning of July 2, supporters gathered at the Blue Demon Aviation Hangar to
witness an unforgettable moment: Andrew’s take-off on his 27,000km solo flight around Australia.
Guests included patients, families, campaign supporters, MPs, donors, media, and Andrew’s trusted dog, Scout. With heartfelt words from MC Jacqui Felgate, and roving interviews byChannel Nine’s Isabella Staskowski, the day marked not just the start of an aviation adventure – but the beginning of something far greater.
