King Charles III has praised Australians’ generous efforts after millions of dollars were raised for sick kids in this year’s Telethon event. A record total of $83.3 million was raised for sick children at the weekend, with the number of donations from individuals also reaching new highs. “My wife and I were delighted to hear that the Channel Seven Telethon was a record-breaking success this weekend,” the King said.
Individual online donations also jumped to a record-breaking high, with more than 27,000 donations totalling millions.
