“Ragnar’s Big Paws for Little Heroes – Good Friday Appeal”

Good Friday Appeal 2026

Ragnar’s Big Paws for Little Heroes 🐾

Hi everyone, Ragnar here!

This year I’m putting my big fluffy paws to work to help raise money for the incredible kids at the Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne.

The doctors, nurses and staff at the hospital do amazing work every single day helping sick children and supporting their families when they need it most.

Mum and I will also be visiting the hospital to help bring smiles, cuddles and a little bit of Maine Coon magic to the patients and their families during the appeal.

Every dollar raised helps fund life-saving equipment, research and care for children, and together we can make a real difference.

If you love following my adventures, please consider helping me support this incredible cause. Even the smallest donation can help change a child’s life.

Let’s show everyone the power of big paws and big hearts. ❤️

Thank you for helping me support the kids.

Love,
Ragnar the Maine Coon
