Ready to brighten your day and support a great cause? Then head on down to 12 Patricia Road, Ayr, where you can pick your own sunflowers for a donation, with all the money collected going into research for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) Australia.
Started up by a local man who wanted to remain anonymous, during a brief conversation, he said he was doing it after one of his good friends lost their child to CDH.
“Basically, anything I can do that might help save a life, whether it’s money for research into CDH which can possibly save other child’s lives, felt like the thing to do,” he said.
When asked if he’d repeat this beautiful display again next year, he was unsure, but if the genuine, heartfelt response from the community is anything to go by, you can expect that there’ll be a nice donation amount being sent to CDH Australia after it’s all done.
The display has seen a great response and participation from the local Burdekin community, who has taken up the challenge and come armed with snips or scissors, cutting their own sunflowers to take and decorate their home or give as gifts to others, while leaving generous donations for the cause.
Bring your own snips, snap some fun photos, post on social media, all while taking home a gorgeous bloom!
Your donation helps CDH Australia support families impacted by Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia, raising awareness and funding for life-saving research and support.
