Leon's First Birthday!

Good Friday Appeal 2026

Help us celebrate Leon's First Birthday by donating to the Good Friday Appeal!

As our little Leon turns one, we’re reflecting on how lucky we are to celebrate this milestone with a healthy, happy boy.

We’ve seen the incredible impact of The Royal Children’s Hospital firsthand through friends and loved ones who have relied on their care. The Good Friday Appeal doesn't just fund world-class medical treatment and research; it supports entire families during their toughest moments.

Having everything our little boy needs, we’d love to use his first birthday to give back. In lieu of gifts, we’re asking our family and friends to consider making a donation to the Good Friday Appeal.

Every contribution goes directly toward equipment, research, and family support services at the RCH.

Thank you for being such a wonderful part of Leon's life and for helping us support a cause that means so much to our family.

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.
