The West Coast Eagles made a very special visit to Princess Margaret Hospital on Tuesday to visit brave kids who will be spending their festive season in hospital.

A large contingent of Eagles players set aside their training commitments for a few hours, to pop into the Megazone to have some fun with the kids and their families.

They were joined by Father Christmas himself, who led the Eagles in giving the kids at PMH early Christmas presents and to spread some festive cheer.

PMH Ambassador Matt Rosa said that the visit to PMH always puts everything into perspective.

“Just coming here and seeing how tough some of these kids are doing it really hits home,” he said.

“Things didn’t really go to plan for me this year in terms on injuries, but it really isn’t anything compared to what these kids and their families have had to go through.

“Christmas is a time everyone should be able to be happy and spend it with their loved ones, so to be able to come up and spend some time is fantastic; the boys really love to do it.

“We’d like to wish everyone at PMH a very Merry Christmas, a happy new year and our best wishes for a fantastic 2015.”
