Her son Hugh, who is suffering from a heart condition, was taken to hospital on Sunday with an ear infection.
The incident was a reminder of why she organised this fundraiser.
An estimated $14,000 was raised from ticket sales and auction items, edging the committee closer to their $50,000 goal.

Staff at Charles Sturt University cooked and presented the meals.
