Esme’s Brave Heart Fundraiser- Thank You RCH

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.

Giving back and raising money for RCH!

Wednesday 18th Mar

Hi Family & Friends,

We are raising funds to give back to the incredible team at the Royal Children’s Hospital for the life changing work they do every single day. Each person here plays a part in supporting children and their families, including ours and we feel truly blessed to be surrounded by such expertise, compassion and care.


Our little Esme has been supported through every step of her journey, and we are endlessly grateful for the dedication, kindness, and strength of the team caring for her. In what has been one of the hardest times in our lives, we have felt lifted by the people around us.


The children here, including Esme, show incredible bravery every day. Their strength is nothing short of inspiring. We hope to give back in some small way and help ensure this hospital can continue its vital, life changing work for so many families like ours.

Thank you, RCH 💛

Lincoln, Emma and Esme x
