Thanks to your generosity, we’ve already surpassed our fundraising target—covering 1,562 nights for families to stay close to their seriously ill child in hospital.
But why stop there? With your help, we can reach 1,875 nights of comfort, care and support. That’s 313 more nights for families who need a safe place to stay when it matters most.
Every donation, big or small, takes us closer to giving even more families the gift of time together.
Family milestones and highlights are the cherished moments that bring loved ones together and create lasting memories.
Since 2004, our Ride for Sick Kids™ riders have cycled over 12,500km in support of the thousands of families with a seriously ill or injured child who rely on Ronald McDonald House Charities Northern NSW each year — raising more than 22,000 nights of accommodation for families in need.
No child or family should miss a milestone or celebration due to illness.
