Scoring a kiss from Australian cricket superstar Mitchell Johnson has been described as a life-changing experience by Kendenup girl Katrina Smith.

Katrina was in Perth for treatment for her cerebral palsy on Wednesday when Johnson and teammate George Bailey took time out from training to visit sick children at Princess Margaret Hospital. The cricketers, who were in Perth ahead of the fourth one-day international against England at the WACA last Friday, signed autographs and answered questions.

Katrina used the opportunity of being face-to-face with the Allan Border medallist to ask his advice about dealing with stressful situations.

I get very stressed at the hospital so I asked him how he copes with fame and he said to just think about all the positive things, she said.

The 15-year-old didnt let the handsome man leave without asking for a kiss, to which he obliged.

This experience has been life- changing for me, I think its really amazing and I think it would have changed a lot of other kids lives too, she said.

The best thing is it distracts the kids from their sickness, because theyre so nice and funny and kind that kids stop thinking about how sick they are.

The Smith family travel the 700km round trip from Kendenup to PMH for Katrinas treatment every six weeks.
