I'm staying Up All Night for WA families with sick kids

This March, I’m taking part in Up All Night, walking 42 km across Perth to help provide a home away from home and services that support the well-being of WA families with sick kids.

Everleigh, our daughter, was just two years old when she was taken to Perth Children’s Hospital (PCH) by ambulance after showing signs of paralysis on the left side of her face. Doctors discovered her condition was more severe than expected, requiring immediate medical attention to prevent life-threatening complications. Everleigh was diagnosed with acute mastoiditis caused by a bacterial infection, which led to an intracranial abscess, blood clots in the brain, facial palsy, and osteomyelitis, a serious bone infection to the left side of her face. She underwent several surgeries and regular MRI scans over the next 12 weeks. Thankfully, she is now on the road to recovery.

This year, her mother, Charley, and I are walking together and fundraising in support of the generosity provided by the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC), which played a crucial role during our challenging times. The toys, gifts, and donations RMHC provided to Everleigh made a world of difference.

By walking a night in their shoes, we can help these families when they need it most.

Could you donate to help Ronald McDonald House Charities WA support families with sick kids, 24/7, all year round?

Thank you for your kindness in making a difference!
