Tiny Lifter, Big Heart. Brodi's Good Friday Fundraiser.

Good Friday Appeal 2026

My man Brodi <3

Hi! My name is Sarah and I would love if you would join me in raising funds for the Good Friday Appeal. 



For anyone that does not know me, my son Brodi has been a patient at the Royal Children's Hospital. Brodi was born with Aortic stenosis, meaning part of his main aortic artery was too narrow. He had part of his aorta removed. He also had a valve issue, it was fully closed meaning the left side of his heart was not able to pump blood at all. Brodi underwent open heart surgery at just 3 days old. It was the most terrifying day of my life. But the amazing team at the Hospital worked there magic and now Brodi is the cheekiest most energetic little boy you would ever meet. However as he grows, who knows what challenges he may have to face. Time will tell. And we are very lucky to have an amazing cardiologist that we visit frequently at the Royal Children's so we can hopefully be more prepared for anything Brodi needs for his future. 

This is why this fundraiser holds a special place in my heart. We will be forever grateful.



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

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.
