Good Friday Appeal 2026

Help me reach my goal of $500

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

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.

Sunday 22nd Mar
The Wilms family is raising money again for the Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday Appeal.

We started our annual fundraiser in 2023 after experiencing first hand with our son Charlie how important RCH is to children with medical needs. We've managed to raise over $3000 over the last three years and we hope you can help us continue to raise much needed funds for this cause that is close to our hearts.

Charlie's Story 
In 2022, Charlie was born with a Port Wine Stain capillary malformation on the left midline of his face affecting his skin and gums. Without treatment, complications such as thickening, darkening and the occurrence of blebs are likely to develop with age. Charlie has had 14 laser treatments in total, with the last two being performed under general anesthesia which has allowed his doctors to treat his birthmark more thoroughly. Experiencing this with our son really has put into perspective how lucky we are to have access to world class experts and medical equipment.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has donated and contributed to improving the future health outcomes of children like Charlie. Every donation counts and goes a long way to making access possible. 

Charlie, Nick, Sarah and Elsie xx
