Fundraiser - Manometry equipment for Children's Hospital Westmead

By Greg Kimball

I’ve chosen to raise much needed funds for Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation

Paediatric colorectal service in Children’s Hospital at Westmead manages complex colorectal conditions that require lifelong follow-up like Hirschsprung’s disease, anorectal malformation, severe constipation and dysmotility.

Connor’s story

Three-year-old Connor was born prematurely at 33 weeks with a non-functional bowel (dysmotile) and in severe pain. His parents Whitney and David Gregg nearly lost him a few days later. At just two years of age, Connor has already endured many surgeries and spent more than 200 days in hospital. Despite all of this, specialists still don’t have an exact diagnosis.

We are helping to raise money for the colorectal service for the Children's Hospital Westmead to acquire manometry equipment and develop a comprehensive service which will go a long way to helping Connor and children like him.  This machine maps out the bowel and measures the activity in different sections and enables targeted treatment.

 The Children's Hospital at Westmead is one of Australia's leading specialist medical centres for children, offering a safe and friendly healing environment for kids from NSW and beyond. The hospital's expert medical staff care for more than 84,000 critically ill and injured children each year.

You can help raise money for this service  by donating directly through this page or by participating in a fundraising golf day at Stone Cutters Ridge Golf Club on 16th of December.

Please contact Brett Islaub on 0473518381 to register for the game and or sponsor a hole.

Registration for the game includes game, cart, breakfast and lunch. Join us for the after game prize distribution, raffles auction etc.

Any assistance you can provide is greatly appreciated by the Gregg family, and the Children’s Hospital at Westmead.

Thank you to my Supporters
