Hello! We are Coco and Ellie. We love doing the Good Friday Appeal fundraiser and believe that this is a wonderful and fun opportunity people should get involved with. Last year, we did the Run For Kids and had such an amazing experience. We ended up raising over $4000 and came 7th in donating! We hope we can reach beyond our goals for this year in 2025.
In March 2022 Ellie was admitted to the Royal Children's hospital after suffering from a spinal cord stroke which came out of nowhere, she spent months in the hospital, and slowly the team at the royal children’s helped her regain her strength and now here she is today running for the Good Friday appeal. Coco wanted to do this fundraiser because her Auntie and other family members have been helped by the RCH. Her Aunt says “while it was hard at the time, I was still treated so kindly by all of the staff at the hospital, and I am forever grateful for them”. These “stories” are what made us sign up for the Good Friday Appeal. We believe that every kid should deserve the fun opportunities in life. We really hope to raise more money this year and cannot wait for the 2025 run! Thank you all so much ❤️
Well done Ellie and Coco. The community at St Catherine’s School stands with you in supporting this worthy cause.
