Let's make magic 💛
Celebrate a brave girl, and have an amazing time doing it!
Molly's life changed in just a few hours. After an ordinary day at preschool, she went to the doctor with a sore ankle and was diagnosed with Leukaemia by that evening.
Her family has now moved to Sydney for a year, where she is being treated as a high-risk patient (that means she's on an intense chemotherapy treatment plan).
But through it all, she has been a little ray of sunshine.
Join us as we raise money to help Molly's family fund her treatment. A portion of proceeds will also go to the Sydney Children's Hospital, to assist with all the little extras that bring joy to Molly's hospital stays (like party days, play therapy and crafternoons).
Here is what's happening at Magic for Molly.
Join us on 6 March at Laurie Daley Oval in Junee

Meet the people shaving their heads to help raise money!
A live shave is happening at 5pm. Give these people a high five if you see them on the day!
Hayden
After rocking a mullet in high school, he decided to grow another one last year. Maybe it'll be third time lucky for Hayden's mullet, because this one has to go!
James
Molly has only ever known her Uncle James with his beard. He's had it for 6 years, but is ready to see if our clippers will shave 10 years off his appearance!
Alicia
Molly's cousin is waving goodbye to her luscious curls. She's travelling from Canberra just for the event, so make her feel welcome!
Nick
It's lucky number 7 for Nick's beard! He's had his whiskers for 7 years and long hair for 8. Will he be able to go through with it and say goodbye?
David
David has been growing his beard for 4 years. But he says his hair is even more valuable, because there's not much left, making it a rare commodity!
