Ten-year-old Josh Goodwin of Perth, Australia, organised a bake sale with his Year 5 classmates at Trinity College to raise money for Telethon, a children’s charity.

Josh created the event to remember his seven-year-old brother, Winston “Winnie” Goodwin, who recently died from a rare brain disorder. He wanted to support other sick children and keep his brother’s memory alive. The bake sale included a visit from Fat Cat, Telethon’s mascot, and created a positive atmosphere for the students involved.

Josh expressed confidence that his brother would be proud of the fundraising effort. Josh’s mother, Barbara Goodwin, noted her son’s dedication to inclusivity and his desire to help others understand the experiences of people with disabilities. She believes the event honours Winnie and builds empathy among young people. The students aim to raise at least $1000 for Telethon.
