Overcoming challenges are part of daily life at The Royal Children’s Hospital.
Patients, their families and the hospital staff all face the collective challenge of caring for vulnerable sick children, to ensure that they receive the best possible treatment with the best possible outcome.
Your participation in this year’s Herald Sun/CityLink Run for the Kids is a personal challenge reflecting the challenges faced by the thousands of young children that will be cared for at The Royal Children’s Hospital in coming years. Each will benefit from your involvement and your generosity.
As you are enjoying your R4K challenge and enjoying the wonderful sights of Melbourne along the way, feel proud that you will be helping equip our great hospital with the ‘latest and the greatest’ to give many young children the opportunity to regain good health.

Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday Appeal
The Good Friday Appeal is the public face of fundraising for Victoria’s Royal Children’s Hospital. It has provided more than $211 million to the hospital since the Appeal began in 1931. 90 cents in every dollar raised is used by The Royal Children’s Hospital to purchase medical equipment and to fund research.
Giving on Good Friday – ‘that they may grow’ is a Victorian tradition, with television sets tuned in to the 18 hour long telethon; perhaps for the chance to hear a special donation read out, or to learn of the miracles that happen at the hospital. It is all about helping those who are our smallest and most vulnerable. The great strength of the Appeal lies with the thousands of people from all walks of life, who volunteer their time, expertise and creativity to organise fundraising activities throughout the year. It is a non denominational, non political organisation that exists solely to raise funds for The Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne. |
