Help support me in my Ride for Sick Kids with Ronald McDonald House Northern NSW

When a child is seriously ill or injured, being close to their care matters more than anything. But for many families across Northern NSW, that often means travelling far from home, support networks and everyday life.

From 25 to 29 August, I’ll be part of a small group of riders cycling from Glen Innes to Newcastle over five days, around 500 kilometres through regional NSW.

Together, we’re aiming to raise $300,000 to help families stay close to their child during treatment.

Each year, around 700 families from Northern NSW are supported with a place to stay at Ronald McDonald Houses in Newcastle and Tamworth, keeping them close to their child in hospital. Thousands more find a moment to rest and reset in Family Rooms within hospitals, while others are supported through the Learning Program and family retreats during and after treatment.

Every kilometre we ride is about making that possible.

If you’re able to support, any donation, big or small, will help Ronald McDonald House Northern NSW continue to provide accommodation and support for families when it matters most.
