On being diagnosed with a brain tumour last October, seven-year-old Alan Ryan was rushed to Westmead Children’s Hospital - for specialist surgery - by a Telstra Child Flight helicopter.
Following surgery, and against all odds, the Bathurst boy showed his fighting spirit and is now staying at Westmead's Ronald McDonald House.
When Telstra Child Flight staff heard that a Nintendo DSi was at the top of Alan's Christmas wish list, they approached Harvey Norman's Rodney El Hindi who readily donated the gaming machine as well as a Scribblenauts game.
Needless to say, Alan was thrilled with his new game!
“Alan hasn’t stopped playing with his new toy, which is the envy of his siblings," commented Telstra Child Flight’s fundraising and event co-ordinator Teri White. "Telstra Child Flight thanks Harvey Norman Liverpool for helping to make a sick little boy a little happier at Christmas.”
