A smile has been put on the faces of children at the Launceston General Hospital this week, with the delivery of LEGO by Variety Tasmania and Archie’s 100.
In early 2020, the Green family lost their son Archie “Bear” at age 7 in a tragic boating accident.
Each year, Archie’s 100 hosts events to celebrate ‘an incredible life lost too soon’ and embark to make a positive difference for the future.
Through Archie’s 100, funds raised go towards funding equipment, research and patient care at Neonatal and Paediatric Intensive Care Units in Tasmanian hospitals.
“We’re very excited to spread Archie’s legacy. Archie loved LEGO and to be able to partner with Variety to distribute LEGO kits to kids in hospital is a great way to honour Archie’s memory,” said Damien Green from Archie’s 100.
Variety Tasmania CEO Mohammad Aldergham said the charity plays an important role in “creating a positive impact on the lives of Tasmanian children”.
“We are proud to have Archie’s 100 join the Variety family early this year. Since then we have been working together on initiatives that spread Archie’s legacy such as this one,” Aldergham said.
The team delivered over 360 LEGO kits to the LGH on Tuesday morning.
