Benji’s Good Friday Appeal

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.

My Updates

Hello again!

Monday 9th Feb

Hello again! It’s that time of year again and we are fundraising for the Good Friday Appeal on Benjis behalf! What a roller coaster of a year it’s been since we were here last!

Here’s some life updates from Benji:

- I started Grade 1

- I wear AFOs now

- I have become more independent with my day-to-day activities despite losing some mobility!

- I have a new baby brother, Max

We are still navigating the scary world that is Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, but thanks to our fantastic team at RCH, GVH and at home we are able to work through anything that may come our way!

Keep an eye on the page for updates and share around to your friends, family, colleagues wherever you can! We appreciate all your support, every $ raised helps kids like Benji get the support they need via RCH!

Let’s see what happens this year!
