Here's a photo of Klaudia, taken during therapy sessions at the Royal Childrens Hospital outdoor space.![]()
Klaudia has Cerebral Palsy and had recent orthopaedic surgery and in-patient rehabilitation. After many months, she remained below the usual level of function and in need of further rehabilitation at the time of discharge. Unfortunately, Klaudia’s family can't access publicly-funded outpatient rehabilitation, as they are originally from Poland on working visas. Her family was under significant financial stress, after already paying for many other therapies.![]()
MAD was pleased to provide funding for continued physiotherapy sessions. Klaudia remains very motivated and is working towards her ongoing goals of walking without crutches, dancing and returning to running.![]()

Bright, smiley 3-year-old Cove is learning to stand and walk again. After suffering a severe brain injury during an accident, Cove lost the ability to sit, crawl, stand or walk on his own. It has since been very encouraging to see Cove moving his legs and attempting to step forward when supported - a great sign that his neural pathway is returning.![]()
MAD Foundation funded a My Way walker, when NDIS applications only covered other items that were needed. It is pure joy to see Cove smiling and taking steps with his walker.![]()
“Thank you sooo much MAD for funding Cove’s walker, it has given him the chance to learn to walk again! We can never thank you enough. We are practising standing, walking, and stepping every day.” (Cove’s Mum)![]()

"This year when we mark our seventh birthday on the first weekend of December we have much to celebrate, and a whole lot to be thankful for.
Our annual #FourPillarsoftheCommunity weekend will mean more than ever this year. We are so grateful to everyone in our community as we struggled through such a tough year together – first with bushfires up and down the country, and then COVID-19 and multiple lockdowns, especially here in Victoria.
To try to give a little bit back in 2020 we are supporting five charities that mean a lot to us. All profits made at our #Healesville Distillery and #Sydney Laboratory on that weekend will go to these organisations doing super important work – we really feel so humble and grateful to have them in our community.
Because in 2020 it’s harder to host as many people as we usually do at our Distillery though… so we’ve got our very first ‘Gin With Benefits’. This initiative is in partnership with the @MAD_Foundation, and $50 from each bottle will go to this amazing organisation whether you buy online or at one of our homes or pop-up stores.
But if you can, we’d love see you at our Distillery in the #YarraValley where all profits will go to support three other charities doing great work for their causes. For more info and bookings, see the link in our bio." Four Pillars Gin #makeadifference
