Ollie Olsen is a 66 year old musician who has been active in the Australian music industry since the 1970s.
In recent years, Ollie’s health has significantly declined. He was diagnosed with Multiple System Atrophy, a terminal neurodegenerative disease that has led to him requiring full-time care.
Please donate what you can today to Ollie’s Help A Mate appeal and help us raise a target of $35,000 to help cover the medical expenses associated with Ollie’s care.
