Jade BENHAM (Mildura) (14:25): Last week I spoke about two-year-old Octavia in this place and her struggle to get the surgery she needs to alleviate her food aversion and some severe obstructive sleep apnoea. On Saturday at the field days, I got a visit from Octavia, her mum Megan, dad Josh and little sister Elizabeth, and I am thrilled to report now that Mildura’s local children’s charity, Children Having an Illness Living in Sunraysia, or CHAILIS as it is affectionately known locally, have come to the rescue with the funds needed for Octavia to have her operation.
