Eighteen-month-old Lewis Mika is one of only 40 people worldwide with KCNK9 Imprinting Syndrome, a rare condition affecting muscle tone, speech, and motor skills. Despite the challenges, Lewis is a happy, positive toddler, bringing joy to everyone he meets ✨

For families like the Mikas, the Redcliffe Hospital Children’s Ward has become a second home. This year, donations from the Raise it for Redcliffe Hospital's Giving Day are going towards renovating the parent lounge and children’s playroom, to create a welcoming, home-like space for families to relax away from the clinical environment.

“These spaces are vital,” says Acting Clinical Nurse Coordinator Alyssa Kemp. “They give families a place to gather, relax, and feel a little more at home during difficult times.”

"Exercise is my religion. I've been a bodybuilder my whole life and won Mr Australia four times back in the 1960s. Eight weeks ago, I had a fall at home, which shook my confidence a little bit, but it reminded me how important it is to get up and keep moving.

It doesn't matter what age you are. You just need to keep exercising."
