Good Friday Appeal 2026

Help me reach my goal of $200

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

Read, Read and Raised - The Story Behind

Tuesday 11th Aug
Hello Friends and Family,

For the past 28 years, my family have 
been donating to the Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne, and every year I’ve wanted to do something special, but could never quite put my finger on exactly what to do, until it came to me after having my own child. I thought why not do something we can both do together - read! 

Then came the idea of Read, Read and Raised. With every book read, we’ve put aside a dollar to donate. 

This year will be our second year of Read, Read and Raised, with a new member added to our club and a higher fundraising goal to aim for.

So please join us on this journey, as we continue to dive deep into our stories and get lost amongst the pages and discover how many books we can read in a year.

You can support us in our challenge by simply following along with our journey and / or donating towards our fundraiser. 

Please excuse us now, as there are books with our names on them, begging us to go read!! 

Much love 💜💚💜💚
Claire, Mini Me,and Mini mini me.
