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

Nic Naitanui, Mark Hutchings, Josh Hill, Tom Barrass and Malcolm Karpany set aside their training commitments for a few hours to pop into the Megazone to have some fun with the kids and their families.

Naitanui 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.

“Over the journey you get down about things like injuries and poor form, 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 spend 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.”
