Be inspired by our amazing families – the ones who directly benefit from your fundraising
The Saunders Family
No parent ever wants to hear that their child is seriously ill. Unfortunately, that news came to parents Erana and Steven when their sweet six-month old baby girl, Amara-Lee, was diagnosed with hydrocephalus, which causes a build-up of cerebrospinal fluid within the brain.
The McLaren Family
It was just a regular Sunday night for parents Jo and Scott until the unimaginable happened, an accident that left their 13-month-old son, Beau, with severe burns.
The Downes Family
Emily and Chris Downes began their stay at Ronald McDonald House Charities when they discovered Emily had a high-risk pregnancy. She was quickly flown from Mt Isa to Townsville University Hospital at 30 weeks pregnant.
