Good Friday Appeal 2025

Give for the kids!

Join me for the Good Friday Appeal. 



Will you help me and do something really GOOD for sick kids?

I'm giving it my all to raise funds for the Good Friday Appeal this year. Why? So The Royal Children's Hospital can continue to provide the world-class care to seriously sick children and their families.

Please give generously. I've set a goal to raise as many funds as possible because this is our chance to make a brighter future for all kids.

Every dollar you give will help fund state-of-the-art equipment, groundbreaking research, staff training and patient care.

There have been SO MANY kids who have had life-saving care at The 
Royal Children's Hospital. I need your help to make sure that kids can keep getting that special care this year, and the next… and the next.

I need your support to reach my fundraising goal and to help as many sick kids and their families as possible, please donate today. 

I‘ve created this page because I want to make a difference to the lives of sick kids.

The Good Friday Appeal relies on the support of the community to raise funds to ensure that The Royal Children's Hospital is able to continue to provide world class care to patients and their families. From 2024 to 2025 at The Royal Children's Hospital: 85,415 patients presented to the Emergency Department, 53,450 children and young people were admitted to a ward, 182,204 children and young people attended an ambulatory appointment, and 15,106 patients underwent surgery. So please help by giving whatever you are able to this fundraiser and help spread the word by sharing this page with your friends, family and networks. Thank you for your generosity, it means a lot!

with heart

My Updates

We Did It!

Saturday 25th Oct

And just like that… we did it!
We have officially passed our fundraising goal of $1,000! Thank you to every beautiful family, friend, and community member who helped us reach this milestone. We are continuing to fundraise, because every dollar truly makes a difference to sick kids like our Maisie.

Since turning one, Maisie has attended 109 medical appointments and procedures, and by next week that number will be 113. The Royal Children’s Hospital has become her safe space—but that doesn’t mean it has been easy. The work funded by the Good Friday Appeal provides not only world-class medical care, but also comfort, compassion, and support to families going through some of the most traumatic and challenging times of their lives. It gives children—some facing battles bigger than most adults will ever know—a chance at a healthy and happy future.

Maisie has had more blood tests and MRIs in her four years of life (with her fourth MRI scheduled for January) than Hayden and I have had combined. She has spent 160 hours sitting in the car travelling to and from the hospital and approximately 25 hours waiting in waiting rooms. And she is just one of millions of children and families who have walked this path over the years.

We are so incredibly grateful for your support. Together, we are helping make a difference—not just for Maisie, but for every child who needs the Royal Children’s Hospital to be there in their darkest moments.

Thank you for helping bring hope to sick kids and their families. 💛
