The Alkimos teenager designed $2 and $5 donation cards, which are being sold at supermarkets across WA.

Scott has raised more than $150,000 for Telethon since he was four by walking from his family farm to Southern Cross and doing treadmill challenges on Telethon weekends.

“Telethon is special to me because they help sick kids and their families and being a kid, I know I’d want to feel safe and supported if I had to go to hospital,” he said.

“I was very excited to find out that Coles had decided to use my artwork on the cards; it will be awesome to see my designs in the stores and cool to see people buying them.”
