Thea 500

Good Friday Appeal 2025

Help me reach my goal of $10,000

Thea is challenging herself to water ski 500 km to raise money to help sick kids.

Thea Anderson is a 12 yo that has challenged herself to water ski the Mildura 100 race a total of five times! On Good Friday, Thea will attempt to water ski 500km on a single ski to raise money for the RCH Good Friday Appeal. We are calling it the Thea 500, and would like to invite you to be a driving force behind this unique attempt.

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 2022 to 2023 at The Royal Children's Hospital: 90,260 patients presented to the Emergency Department, 50,345 children and young people were admitted to a ward, 407,563 children and young people attended an outpatient appointment, and 14,963 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

Celebrating my 12th birthday by water skiing over 200km in one day

Thursday 6th Feb
After touring the hospital recently, I’ve gained even more inspiration and have been pushing myself in training to ensure I can complete this challenge in a single day. For my birthday weekend, I decided to test my limits and managed to reach 200km in just one afternoon. While 500km will be a tough challenge, I truly believe it’s something I can accomplish. Your generosity has already made a huge impact, and if you can share this with your family and friends, encouraging them to donate as well, we’ll be one step closer to reaching—and surpassing—my $10,000 goal.
