Big Thanks to Mercedes Benz Commercial Vehicles Somerton

Meg is being admitted to the Royal Chidren's Hospital Melbourne tomorrow to undergo a Tube weaning trial. We hope to at least partially wean her from her feeding tube and encorage her to eat more orally.

Mercedez benz Commercial Vehicles Somerton have kindly loaned us a fantastic Vito Van to move all of Meg's equipment and feeding chairs etc down to Melbourne (a lot of gear!)- it is a huge help to us and we would like to thank them profusely.



Mercedes-Benz Commercial Vehicles Somerton carries an extensive stock of new vehicles from our range of products which include:
• Mercedes-Benz Trucks
• Mercedes-Benz Vans
• Freightliner & Sterling Trucks
• Fuso Trucks

Our service and parts teams are factory trained to provide ongoing support for the life of your vehicle.



Thank you Anthony and team.

Oh What a NIGHT!


It has to be said that I really don;t think Bright has ever seen the likes of it!

"The Time Warp a musical tribute to Rocky Horror"

It was a fabulous night - loads of people dressed up in appropriate wear / or should I say inappropriate wear for the night and it was hard to find anyone who wasn't enjoying themselves.

Hope you enjoy the Pic!


Down to the serious business of why we were there though.

The fundraisng was a resounding success the Tally so far from the night (we are still waiting on a couple of stalls to get back to us with a final count) is an astounding.................................... $14,763.67, yes folks that's right $14,763.67!


What a night Hey - I cant thank the community of the Alpine Valley enough for getting behind our little Meg and helping us out! Considering our little township of Bright is a mere 2000 ish in population - it just shows how much support we are getting from everyone.


Thanks Again Alpine Valley & everyone who made the trip up or down for the night.


We really hope you enjoyed yourselves and we will keep you posted about next year!


More updates once we have the final tally in.
