🧡 MEET ELLA 🧡
We were lucky enough to meet beautiful Ella on Christmas Eve during our DF Christmas Lights Run around town.
Dressed as possibly the cutest Santa’s elf you’ve ever seen, Ella greeted our entire run group with lollipops, a photo opportunity with Santa, and the kind of pure joy and excitement that stuck with all of us long after we’d finished our run. 🎅🏼🍭
What we didn’t know at the time was a little more about Ella’s story.
Eight-year-old Ella lives with cystic fibrosis (CF), facing daily treatments and challenges that most children her age never have to think about.
This year, Ella’s mum Michelle and a group of friends have created The Great Escape Oz Car Rally – Team Ella, travelling from New South Wales to South Australia and raising vital funds for Cure4CF’s research program.
For Michelle, every dollar raised is about doing everything she can to help create a better future for Ella — and for everyone living with CF.
As Michelle says:
“As a parent, you’d do anything to help find a cure.”
And we’d love the DF community to get behind them. 🧡
If you’d like to support Team Ella, you can donate online through the link below, or you’ll find a Team Ella donation tin at DF reception. Every little bit helps.

We feel pretty lucky that our Christmas run brought this gorgeous little elf across our path. Now it’s our turn to show her a little of that same joy and generosity she showed us. 🧡
