Telethon 2026 Sunday live updates: All the action from RAC Arena as WA raises millions for sick kids

11-year-old Charlee Hosking captured WA’s heart as a 2024 Little Telethon Star and has just made a return to the big stage alongside her cheer squad.

The CosmicFury team – formed of the Cosmic Empire Allstars and West Coast Fury – put on a fabulous performance to Owl City’s When Can I See You Again.

Well done Charlee and the CosmicFury squad!

If you want to go watch in person, they are located right outside RAC Arena. Go cheer them on!

Doctors told Bubba’s parents that her body wanted to die. After 12 major surgeries, the removal of her right lung and 112 long days in hospital, her survival is nothing short of a miracle.

Bubba Kaio Rerekura is a five-year-old force; a “warrior princess” who has a ferocious right kick in mixed martial arts — using a leg almost lost to sepsis — and who can swim like a fish with just one lung.

That Bubba is even here at all, to boss her four sisters around, hug her parents and apply a coat of lip gloss, flick back her hair and take on the world, is more than a miracle.

It is a testament to compassionate, brilliant and innovative medical teams who never stopped looking for answers as Bubba’s tiny body was ravaged by a deadly infection, to her family’s unwavering faith, and to community.

Well, it looks like not many of you got much sleep last night!

You absolute legends. Keep it coming

The Snooze Slumber Party has just wrapped up with a very early slice of celebratory cake in bed - and the obligatory presentation of a giant cheque.

Telethon’s overnight skit favourites Famous Sharron and Ben O’Shea each produced a cake to celebrate five years of the slumber party, now a staple of Telethon’s overnight programming.

Lying on the bed with Chad Rankin from Snooze, O’Shea shared that he had baked a cake himself to mark the milestone of the fifth annual slumber party.

And his offering had all the hallmarks of a dad’s homemade treat, an odd-shaped, roundish treasure loosely covered in icing and lollies.

Famous Sharron then shared that she too had organised a cake for the moment - producing a perfectly designed, bed-shaped baked beauty of a treat.

Snooze’s contribution to Telethon this year was $50,000
