Millie’s Medullablastoma Battle

Good Friday Appeal 2026

Give for the kids!

I'm making a difference this Good Friday Appeal, and I need your support.

We all know firsthand the life-saving work of The Royal Children's Hospital. They provide world-class care to seriously sick kids, and my goal is to help them continue that mission.

Every dollar we raise has an impact. This is our chance to ensure thousands of children get the special care they need—this year, and in the future.

Please donate generously and help me reach my target. Let's do something GOOD for the kids.

The Good Friday Appeal has been raising funds for sick kids and their families at The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) for 95 years.

Through the generosity of the community, the RCH continues to deliver world‑class, comprehensive care.

Every dollar donated supports:

  • Ground‑breaking research
  • State‑of‑the‑art equipment
  • Training and unique patient‑centred care programs

In just one year (2024–2025), hundreds of thousands of kids were cared for:

  • 85,415 appointments for urgent and essential care in the Emergency Department
  • 53,450 admissions to a ward, where children and young people received expert, compassionate care
  • 15,106 surgeries, paving the way for brighter futures
  • An incredible 456,000 outpatients seen — that’s an average of 1,250 appointments a day

By supporting this fundraiser, you are part of the impact, helping children live their best possible lives.

Please help make a difference and share this page with your friends, families, and networks.

Thank you for giving for the kids.

with heart

My Updates

Thank you for your support!

Tuesday 31st Mar
Thanks everyone who has donated to RCH Good Friday Appeal in Millie’s name. We’ve been blown away with the support. 

Millie has now finished her second round of chemo but her body is taking longer to recover than we had hoped. We will commence our third round of chemo in the middle of April and hope to get home from RCH for a few days after Easter. Millie’s now spent only 5 nights at home since February 8 so she deserves some time at home. 

Some of Millie’s favourite things to do at the hospital are art and music therapy and so we’re so pleased to know that funds raised this year will continue to fund this vital programs for the children who come after us, so that they too can enjoy it. 

Millie will be featured throughout the Good Friday Appeal and will have an article about her story published in Herald Sun on Good Friday. 

Thanks again for your support and we hope none of you are ever part of this sucky club - the parents of kids with cancer club - but if you are, know the care you’ll get at RCH is phenomenal! 

Why this means something to is

Sunday 1st Mar
In January 2026, we were referred to RCH because Millie was a little unsteady on her feet. In wha became a whirlwind of a time, Millie was diagnosed with a medullablastoma tumour pressing against her brain stem and cerebellum. She had surgery within 24 hours to relieve the built up pressure on her brain, 12 hour surgery within 36 hours of diagnosis to remove the tumour and has since a multitude of other surgeries. She is currently undergoing chemo all while being at RCH. And the entire time, the care, guidance, support and overall levels of confidence in the treatment plan has been overwhelming. We really wish we weren’t part of the community of parents of kids with cancer, but we feel incredibly grateful to be part of it at RCH and want to do all we can to give back to them for making an incredibly stressful, emotional and overall terrible time much more bearable.
