Bringing Smiles When They Matter Most
Smiles 4 Miles is a Not-for-Profit organisation with a mission of bringing smiles to children in palliative and end-of-life care
When a child’s time is limited,
we’re here to make sure the time they do have is happy.

So What do Smiles 4 Miles Programs look like?
From activities like science experiments, karaoke, slime making, arts and crafts, rainbow explosions, disco parties and many more, we bring the fun!
At Smiles 4 Miles, inclusivity is at the centre of everything we do
Every child we support has unique needs and abilities, which is why our programs are thoughtfully designed to be adaptable, accessible, and safe to everyone!
The heart of Smiles 4 Miles, however, extends far beyond the activities themselves. Our greatest impact lies in the meaningful connections our volunteers build with children through consistent, ongoing visits.
The Heart Behind it All…
At the age of 19, after overcoming her own health challenges, Maxie founded Smiles 4 Miles to bring joy and meaningful moments to children and their families.
“I was granted a second chance at a healthy and independent life, and I wanted to dedicate my second chance to the children who will never get that.”
- Maxie Diamantopoulos, Founder and CEO
A Smiles 4 Miles Story
A Scientist for a Day
“When I grow up, I want to be a scientist and find the cure for cancer.”
These were the words of an 11-year-old boy who was nearing the end of his life.
He had a dream for his future, and Smiles 4 Miles helped to make that dream possible, even if only for a day.
For a day, he became a scientist. He spent hours mixing ingredients, creating explosions and experimenting.
He told us it was the best day of his life.
Sadly, he died soon afterwards.
He never got to grow up and live out his dream of being a scientist.
But for one special day, he experienced a little bit of the future he had always dreamed of.
