Folino’s Good Friday Fundraiser

Good Friday Appeal 2026

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

My Story:

Sunday 1st Mar

Hey all, Elisha here! 

As many of you know, I was diagnosed with a form of Lymphoma cancer in 2020. I spent 3 months in the Royal Children's Hospital and endured 4 rounds of chemotherapy, numerous scans, tests, procedures and lumbar punctures.

I've created this fundraiser as a way to give back to the RCH, and help many kids find answers and get the treatment they need!

Over the last two years, we've raised just shy of $7,500, so it'd be amazing if we could hit that $10,000 total! 


Thankyou for your support, Folino xx
