Anthony Burke

“I’m taking part to help create greater awareness in our community about Ronald McDonald House Newcastle and the incredible work they do for families in need. The House provides irreplaceable comfort and support to sick kids and their families during the toughest times, and walking in their shoes is a small way to honour their journey while raising vital support for the service.”
Nick Abraham

“As a parent of three young children, I know how quickly life can change for families when a child becomes seriously ill. The CEO Walk in My Shoes allows me to better understand what parents go through, and to stand behind Ronald McDonald House when it matters most.”
Deane Moore
Director, Kneumo Hospitality
“Giving back is something I genuinely believe in, especially when it comes to supporting families doing it tough. CEO Walk in My Shoes just makes sense to me. It reflects the kind of heartfelt, family-focused support I value and the importance of standing behind families when they need it most.”

General Manager, People & Culture, WesTrac
Chelsea Atkinson

“I’m taking part in CEO Walk In My Shoes because as leaders, we have the influence and resources to create positive change in our community. As a mum of two young boys, I can’t imagine the emotional toll families face when a child is diagnosed and begins a long journey of treatment. Supporting RMHC means giving families comfort, stability and hope, so they can focus on what matters most, their child’s recovery.”
Tony Lumtin
Managing Director, TJL Business Advisors & Accountants | WorldWide
“Being invited to take part in CEO Walk In My Shoes is an absolute privilege.
It’s more than a building, it’s a lifeline for families with a seriously ill child. Stepping into their world, even briefly, brings into focus the emotional weight, the uncertainty, and the constant balancing act they carry every day.
It’s something no number or report can truly capture.”
