Lemonade stand helps fund VR Goggles
Last year, 8-year-old William Cook turned lemons into lemonade (quite literally) to help raise $722 to go towards the purchase of VR Goggles to provide much-needed distraction to sick kids spending time in Toowoomba Hospital Paediatrics Unit.
William hosted a lemonade stand near his home welcoming his local community to purchase a refreshing drink, and this year the Foundation invited William and his Mum to the hospital to see the fruits of his labour.
“We can’t thank William and his family enough it’s just been wonderful to have such a young fellow put his heart and soul into fundraising and gifting us this great device.”
Jill, Toowoomba Hospital Paediatrics Nurse

How do I add my fitness activity to my fundraising page?
Connect Your Fitness App or Add Your Activity Manually
Your fundraising page can include a personal distance tally, helping you track your progress and show your supporters how far you’ve come — literally! It’s a great way to stay motivated, stay accountable, and share your journey as you fundraise.You can either connect your fitness app or add your activity manually — whatever works best for you.
Option 1: Connect a Fitness App
If you use Fitbit, Strava, or Garmin, you can connect your app to your fundraising page and your distance will automatically update each day.Here’s how to set it up:
- Download the Fitbit, Strava, or Garmin app and create your account.
- Log in to your fundraising page.
- Head to the “My Fitness Activity” tab in your dashboard.
- Under “Connect your preferred fitness app,” click your chosen app.
- Follow the prompts to connect your account.
Each time you work out, remember to:
- Start your activity in the app.
- Stop and save your activity when you're done.
- Your tally will update on your fundraising page the following day.
Note:
- If your fitness app has stopped syncing, log in and try reconnecting it.
- For Fitbit, if you don’t start and save an activity, your daily total will sync at the end of the day.
- We don’t currently support MapMyFitness.
Option 2: Manually Add Your Activity
Using a different tracking method or just prefer to log it yourself? No problem. You can manually add your distances anytime.Here’s how:
- Log in to your account and go to the “My Fitness Activity” tab.
- Under “Add Activity,” enter your distance (and time, if needed).
- Your logged activity will appear on your fundraising page to keep your supporters updated.
Whether you're walking, hiking, or training in your own way — every step counts. Keep moving, keep tracking, and thank you for making your kilometres count for something bigger.
Let us know if you need help at any stage. We're with you all the way!
