Do you ever meet someone and just know in your heart that they are pure goodness all the way to their bones? If you know anything about Tim Conolan\u2019s work you could probably already guess that he's one of those people, but meeting him in person last year absolutely confirmed it and I\u2019ve continued to be in awe of him ever since.\n\nTim is one of those people whose why has always been the same but whose how has evolved through MANY different amazing iterations (like all the best ways to yay do) from a fashion label all the way through to a decade long and very successful career as a DJ. You might not expect that he\u2019d end up founding a children\u2019s charity but once you see the common thread of his deep desire to make people happy, it all makes sense as it always does in the end.\n\nIn 1998 he founded TLC for Kids after an incredibly moving encounter (that brings me to tears that you\u2019ll hear about in the episode) seeing that many sick kids fell through the cracks left by other organisations. TLC now gives relief to sick children and their families with no restriction on particular illnesses or conditions and has created life changing Distraction Boxes to see children through uncomfortable or frightening procedures, an incredible TLC Ambulance and rapid response service that have been used over 8 million times.\n\nIf you listen to Tim and don\u2019t want to help him change the world and donate all your money to him I\u2019d be surprised, and I hope that some of you do - he\u2019s a truly extraordinary human recognised by so many accolades but also by the impact he\u2019s making on millions of Aussies. I hope he inspires you as much as he inspires me.\n\n+ Follow Tim Conolan and TLC for Kids here\n+ Announcements on Insta at @spoonful_of_sarah\n+ Join our Facebook community here
