It's been seven years since a couple lost their 10-day old son Finnan to a congenital heart disease but his memory lives on, with more than $2 million raised for a Melbourne hospital in his name.

Parents Alisa and Oliver Camplin-Warner handed over another cheque to The Royal Children's Hospital for $200,000 to go towards an Australian-first cardio-oncology service for children with paediatric cancer, tipping their total raised to over $2 million.

Ms Camplin-Warner, an Olympic gold medallist aerial skier, said the couple created Finnan's Gift as a way of turning their grief into something positive and felt "overwhelmingly proud" about what had been achieved to honour their son.
