Scott Cam and The Block crew have rallied around Dan and Dani Reilly to raise funds for The Royal Women’s Hospital in honour of their late daughter Billie.

It’s been an incredibly difficult time for the couple, following the passing of their 10-day-old daughter Billie Vera Reilly in December 2024.

In March 2025, Dan and Dani headed on down to Daylesford as filming of the 21st season got underway.

Like always, The Block is about community and so Scotty, Dan and Dani fronted a sausage sizzle at the local Delecombe Bunnings.

“We’re here for a fantastic cause,” Scotty began.

Dani continued: “We are flipping snags today in support of the newborn intensive care unit at the Women’s in Melbourne.

“That’s where our Billie girl was for the 10 days that we got to have with her and they’re amazing people – the best people that you’ll ever meet.”

Dan and Dani shared Billie’s story on her official fundraising page.
“After three long years, our dream of becoming parents finally came true. Through IVF, we conceived our Billie – a much-wanted and deeply loved baby girl. From the very beginning, she was strong, thriving through pregnancy, and we couldn’t wait to meet her.

“But in the moments before her arrival, everything changed. Billie suffered distress during birth, the cause of which will never be known, and her tiny body was deprived of oxygen for too long.

“Despite the incredible efforts of the NICU team, the damage was too severe, and our beautiful Billie was unable to survive.”

For 10 days The Women’s NICU became home for Dan, Dani and Billie.

“The doctors, nurses, and staff (affectionately known as ‘Billie’s Besties’) didn’t just care for Billie; they cared for us as a family. They held space for our love, our grief, and our need to make memories in the time we had.”

In honour of Billie, Dan and Dani want to give back to the team that gave them “irreplaceable moments” with their daughter and so far have raised $31,818 of their $100,000 goal.

Fans and followers have also rallied around Dan and Dani to show their support.

“We have donated. Such a worthy cause,” one wrote.

While another said, “A wonderful thing to do, big hugs to you all.”

Australia came to know and love Dan and Dani in 2012 when they became contestants on The Block while they were dating and left with a life-changing $448,000.

Dan and Dani returned in 2013 for the The Block All Stars series, taking home a profit of $220,000, and Dan later became foreman on The Block.

The pair tied the knot in 2018 after nine years together in an intimate ceremony on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula.
