Western Australians have come together to help raise over $38 million through Telethon 2018.

It was a record amount for the 26-hour event, surpassing last year's total of $36 million.

Now over $300 million has been raised since Telethon began 51-years-ago.

The money will help fund research, equipment and social welfare programs for sick children and their families.
