Telethon 2024: Winner of Hyundai car giveaway reveals heartbreaking story about baby’s tragic death

The winner of Sunday night’s car giveaway revealed she tragically lost her baby and couldn’t thank Telethon enough for what it has done for sick kids in WA.

Australind resident Tegan was sitting on her couch watching Telethon when she received a call from Rove McManus informing her she had won the new Hyundai vehicle.

When McManus asked her why she donated to Telethon, Teagan shared the devastating story about her baby’s passing.

“Telethon means so much to our family, our first little boy, Nash, he lived at PCH for the first five months of his life and he passed away in February 2020 from a heart condition.

“Telethon is everything . . . it’s very close to our heart.

The car was one of two given away during Telethon, with Perth resident Rosa receiving the second Hyundai Kona.

The West Aussie also had experienced first-hand the power of Telethon after her twins were born with cerebral palsy.

Rosa said they weren’t supposed to live beyond 15 years of age but are still alive at 40.

One of her sons is even lecturing at university, helping other children with cerebral palsy.
