Lavington's Frank Scott a regular Good Friday Appeal supporter

Between the age of three and six, Mr Scott spent time in and out of the hospital with severe gastrointestinal issues.

To thank the doctors, nurses and staff for helping him in a time of need, Mr Scott has donated to the Good Friday Appeal ever since.

Any spare change he collects during the year, he keeps in a jar and donates it all to the hospital.
