CEO Walk In My Shoes March 2024 RMHN

I'm fundraising for CEO Walk In My Shoes

I am joining my fellow CEOs and business leaders in experiencing a day in the life of a family who stays at Ronald McDonald HouseΒ Newcastle.

Why am I doing this?

This is a cause that is close to my heart - with my son having serious congenital heart defects, we've spent a lot of time away from home at hospital - all of that time living at Ronald McDonald House. I've personally experienced the support and difference that Ronald McDonald House Charities makes to sick kids and their families.

Imagine that you have just received the worst news possible – your child is seriously ill and you need to relocate your family in order to receive the lifesaving treatment that your child needs.


You would drop everything right? But what does that actually mean?

The families that stay at Ronald McDonald House Newcastle are away from their home, their support system and everything they know. The House provides them with support to ensure they can concentrate on what is most important, their sick child and family.

These are just a few things Ronald McDonald House Charities provide to families

  • A House that is open 365 days a year, to ensure families have a place to stay at no charge
  • Support for sick kids and their families through various programs
  • Make sure families have a home cooked meal and most importantly
  • Continue keeping families together during this difficult time

I am asking you to support me in helping Ronald McDonald HouseΒ Newcastle continue providing a warm and supportive home-away-from-home for families of children travelling to the House for treatment.

My Achievements

My Updates

WOW!!!!

Tuesday 9th Jan
WOW - I've been absolutely blown away (shocked, humbled... there are not enough words) by everyone's support as I raise funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities Northern NSW (RMHC Northern NSW)!

When I first announced my participation in the 'CEO Walk In My Shoes' program yesterday, I flagged that I was hoping to raise $1,600 by March - only to have smashed through that target within 8 hours, reaching $2,169!!!Β 

From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much to all that have liked, shared, and contributed - your donations so far will support a family for 16 nights while their child is sick or seriously injured.

It doesn't end now - every dollar matters, and I'm going to keep pushing to raise as much as I can!Β 

I'm so excited to be able to share my knowledge - but more importantly, lived experience - in supporting and growing Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Thank you to my Sponsors
