The hope & healing behind the headlines - with Angela & Helen Darlington

As seen on page 27 of my book “Humanitarian – The Real Michael Jackson,” on November 13, 1987, Michael Jackson visited The Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, where he spent the day with children and their families, giving out gifts, signing autographs and chatting to the patients. In episode 7 of the podcast, I spoke with Angela Darlington, who was in the hospital recovering from a head injury when Michael visited her. As Angela was only 5 years old and recovering from a head injury at the time, her memory of the visit is murky, so Helen, Angela’s mother joins the chat to tell us about her memories of the king of Pop’s visit and its impact on her, Angela and the other patients and families in the hospital.Buy the book “Humanitarian – The Real Michael Jackson” HEREFollow #HumanitarianMJ’s Facebook HEREFollow #HumanitarianMJ’s Instagram HEREFollow #HumanitarianMJ’s Twitter HEREFollow #HumanitarianMJ’s TikTok HEREBuy Angela’s book “Slim: Frank 1922-2012” HEREConnect with the Slim: Frank 1922 - 2012 Facebook page HERESupport Melbourne’s Royal Children Hospital HERELeave a voicemail for me HERESupport the Show.
