A
7-Year-old Boy Inspires a Vision of Hope & Healing

Lochie inspired the Jerry’s House charity when he first met Jerry Lewis
at the final Muscular Dystrophy American Telethon. Jerry held a picture
of them as he spoke to the American public about how Lochie Graham
understood his legacy–carrying it into the future with Lochie’s vision
for a house where children who live with chronic illness find joy and
learn to heal using humour.

Speaking to a full house at MIFF2016 Lochie explained his philanthropic
involvement. At 13 Lochie has been a foster brother, worked overseas in
children’s charities, is a young ambassador to The Foundation for Young
Australians and is often seen helping Sam Lipski at The
Pratt Foundation
.

“As a foster brother, it seems to me that every child’s world is
better when they can laugh–despite the terrible things in their lives.
It’s my hope that one day children around the world will have a place
where they can learn to heal through laughter,
” says Lochie
Graham
.

Jerry has inspired Lochie’s show-business acting career too, garnering
many comedic accolades for various roles in commercials (AFL) and
recently in a leading role for a children’s TV comedy show. More: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4254721/
