Little Livvie once again proved she is unstoppable as she led the charge for three days of wild exploration in the Perth Hills.

Little Telethon Star Olivia Street, who lives with a genetic condition called collagen six related myopathy, recently took part in Neuromuscular WA’s annual Kids Camp at the Bickley Outdoor Recreation Camp, tackling everything from flying foxes to native wildlife encounters.

This year’s expedition, themed Into the Wild, transformed the campsite into a giant treasure hunt where children living with neuromuscular conditions solved riddles, uncovered hidden artefacts, learned bush skills and roasted marshmallows around a campfire.

For Olivia, the highlight of the trip wasn’t just the action-packed schedule — it was the chance to make lifelong memories with new friends.

“I went on a scavenger hunt, I learnt how to start a fire, I pat a lizard and it licked me, I pat a snake and we roasted marshmallows around a campfire,” Olivia said.

“My favourite part was having a movie night with my new friends I made at camp.”

Neuromuscular WA chief executive officer Hayley Lethlean said the camp gives the children the freedom to experience new things in an accessible, fully supported environment complete with specialised equipment, support staff, and overnight nursing care.

“Camp gives children living with neuromuscular conditions the opportunity to get away from home, spend time with friends, try new things and build their independence, in an environment where their accessibility and support needs are taken care of,” Ms Lethlean said.

“Olivia made a big impression on the whole team at camp.

“She is incredibly resilient and funny and wasn’t afraid to talk to the older kids. She had everyone in stitches at times.”

Olivia’s mum, Janelle Street, said the camp offered her daughter a rare and cherished opportunity to gain independence away from home while bonding with kids who share similar life experiences.

“It’s so important for us as parents that Olivia gets to experience as many things other kids her age normally would,” Mrs Street said.

“Being able to go to camp is something we didn’t think would be possible for kids like Olivia with the additional level of support she needs. Having experiences like these allow her to feel just like other kids her age.

“We are so grateful that opportunities like this exist, not just so she can experience things her peers do like sleepovers, but it also gives her a chance to be independent from mum and dad... Camp also allows her to interact with other kids who are like her, which helps her not feel so different from everyone else.”

The initiative forms part of Neuromuscular WA’s Adolescent Resilience and Capacity Building program, which receives crucial funding from Telethon.

The bond between the two organisations stretches back nearly 60 years to 1968, when TVW Channel 7 made a $500 donation to the then-named Muscular Dystrophy Research Association.

With Olivia selected as one of the 2026 Little Telethon Stars, this year’s camp holds extra special meaning.

“To have one of our own Neuromuscular WA kids representing Telethon, given the long history between our organisations, is really lovely,” Ms Lethlean said.

You can catch seven-year-old Livvie sharing the spotlight with Australian favourites like Jessica Mauboy at RAC Arena on October 17 and 18.

It promises to be an unmissable 26 hours of live entertainment, uniting Australia’s TV and sporting legends to raise vital funds for sick and vulnerable kids.
