“I’ve never organised a fundraiser or anything like this, but felt that, on my wedding day, I really wanted to say thanks to The Royal Children’s Hospital for helping me get here.”

Jade Larkin’s RCH journey began at a very early age when she was born with congenital heart disease. Undergoing two open heart surgeries by the age of 14, Jade’s condition has had its ups and downs, and she’s grateful to the RCH for the continous care they provided right up until she graduated to adult health services. To celebrate her wedding, she organised RCH bonbonniere gifts for each of her 90 wedding guests.

“I’m forever thankful for the care and support provided by the hospital, it was great to be able to include the RCH in my wedding,” said Jade.
