It has been a privilege to support Olivia and her family, and we couldn’t be happier to see her announced as one of the 2026 Telethon Stars! 🤩💜
🌟Meet 2026 Little Telethon Star Olivia! 🌟
Fundraising superstar. Taylor Swift fan. Big-hearted little legend.
Seven-year-old Olivia is kind-hearted, determined and always looking for ways to help others. She loves spending time with her friends, listening to Taylor Swift and, perhaps most importantly, making a difference to the people around her.
Olivia lives with Collagen VI-related Myopathy, a rare genetic condition affecting every muscle in her body. But she has never let her challenges stop her from reaching for what many thought might not be possible. After years of physiotherapy and incredible determination, Olivia can now stand and walk short distances on her own.
She’s also a fundraising superstar, passionate about helping other kids and giving back to the organisations that have supported her along the way.
Now, Olivia is ready to bring her kindness, courage and generous spirit to Telethon as a 2026 Little Telethon Star. 🫶
