Well Done Fairy Sparkle!

June 13, 2014 by Sharon Munro

Brings smiles to sad faces, lifting spirits that are sagging, inspires those that need it, sits with those in the depths of despair and has held the hand of many ‘passing’.

It seemed only fitting that she should receive the Medal of the Order of Australia this past Queens Birthday. The Queen’s Birthday honours list features Australians from all walks of life. The award is second only to the recently reintroduced title of knights and dames  in the hierarchy of civic honours.

Fairy believes every hospital needs a special garden  – a place for patients and their families. This is essential for  wellbeing and recovery. This is not just a dream, she has inspired many to help her build 8 gardens over the past 12 years with many more to come.

Fairy has also developed Sparkle Karaoke finding singing with patients and their families lifts everyone’s spirits and bridges the gap between home and hospital.

For many years now Kennards have been helping Fairy with donated storage space at their Camperdown centre.

Congratulations Fairy Sparkle!
