A laugh a day keeps the doctor away but clown doctors bring laughter to sick children all round the world.
In Australia each year clown doctors make 1500 visits to 20 hospital across the country to treat children with doses of laughter.
Sydneys Childrens Hospital in Randwick was the first to regularly run the clown doctors program in 1997.
There are 55 clown doctors in Australia who make a difference to more than 100,000 people a year.
They are raising fun(ds) for the Humour Foundation tomorrow.
Cupcakes will also be on sale to raise money at Commonwealth Bank Branches, 28th April at:
Marrickville 10 am till 11 am
Conrcord 11.45 till 12.45pm
Dulwich Hill 2.30pm till 3.30pm.
On the day the Doctors arrive in the Funbalance (a decorated vehicle to help them deliver more emergency fun!)
The Humour Foundation hopes to have clown doctors in every childrens hospital, 5 days a week.'
