2025 CEO Walk In My Shoes RMHN

Together, we make a difference! Being able to drive community support for Ronald McDonald House Charities Northern NSW is very meaningful to me.

I'm taking part in CEO Walk in my Shoes, experiencing a day in the life of families who stay at Ronald McDonald House Newcastle.

Why am I doing this?

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 at Ronald McDonald House are over 100kms away from 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 provides to families

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

Kids should be living life, NOT fighting for it!

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

If it were your child or a loved one’s child, wouldn't you want to know that they had this level of support?
