Never heard of it.

Did this happen last year?

Yes it was on last year but was done with The Footy Show (AFL).
The telethon started in 2016.

A Pity That The Footy Show was axed in May.

A fantastic cause. A little friend of mine had leukaemia last year and both The Footy Show and the charity were absolutely wonderful to him.

Saw an ad featuring Rebecca Maddern during the cricket on 9Gem tonight. It’s about the charity auction of a brand new house and land package at Mickleham in Melbourne’s north, on Saturday, August 24.

Eddie McGuire is hosting this year’s telethon.

The Year of the First My Room Telethon without The Footy Show on air.

I’ve never even seen this. I was out the country last year.

Interesting, because GTV9 need some more local content.

Me neither, and I don’t have your excuse! However if it was connected with the Footy Show, not many would have.

Quite a decent guest list.

I think I shared this last year but I thought it would be a good time to share this again (hope the link works).

This is my little friend Lawson. He is the bravest boy I’ve ever met, and spent most of last year at Monash Childrens before heading to the RCH for his bone marrow transplant. What Challenge, The Footy Show and the Essendon Football Club did for him was absolutely amazing, and his family cannot speak more highly of the hospital.
