Lilly’s fundraiser has now raised $1420 in the online fundraising page — smashing the original goal of $1000 — but the family is waiting to count up the contents of the money tins from around Leitchville and in Echuca High St Barber.

Lilly’s Mum, Kate Parsons, has said the family is very proud of Lilly’s effort.
