Margot’s mission.

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

Myself & Kimberley have decided to raise money for the RCH, this is a special place that holds many memories for us & so many other families.

Sunday 22nd Mar

Since birth, Margot has undergone four procedures at the Royal Children’s Hospital due to a duplex kidney causing hydronephrosis in her left kidney. Her condition was first identified at 20 weeks during pregnancy, which meant weekly scans until she was born.


After Margot arrived, we also discovered she has a vascular malformation (a beautiful birthmark) on her right leg. Thankfully, this has no impact on her health and is unrelated to her kidney condition.


From birth, Margot has required a daily prophylactic antibiotic to reduce the risk of urinary tract infections, which could lead to further complications with her kidney. After her fourth procedure, we were hopeful it would be her last. However, more recently, Margot developed another UTI, leading to further testing and the likelihood of another procedure, which is yet to be confirmed.


As many would know, the Royal Children’s Hospital is an incredibly special place, filled with extraordinary people. While we have spent what some might consider a significant amount of time there, we still consider ourselves among the lucky ones. For many children, the hospital becomes more familiar than the outside world. It is through the support of the community that the hospital can continue providing the care and resources these children and families rely on.


To all the staff at the RCH—your care, compassion, and positivity are truly inspiring. Your dedication does not go unnoticed, and we, along with so many other families, are deeply grateful for everything you do.


Let’s dig deep for this incredibly special cause, and thank you for taking the time to read Margot’s story.
