Get Active

Get active to make a difference in the lives of seriously ill children

Sign me up to support sick kids!

North Queenslanders love to get active.

Why not turn your everyday activity into a fundraiser for sick kids? Whether it’s walking with family, going for a jog with mates, or hopping on the bike for a cycle, there’s no shortage of ways to get active – simply pick what works best for you!

Join an organised race

There’s no shortage of events to join, and it’s so easy to get fundraising.

Once you enter your race, create your fundraising page here and send the link to family, friends and colleagues!

Set your own challenge

If you’ve ever wanted to tackle a once in a lifetime hike, face your wildest fear, get fit by setting yourself a 30-day challenge or go on a cross-country adventure, make it more meaningful by making a real difference in the lives of seriously ill children.

Tell your story on your fundraising page and share on socials, with friends, family and colleagues to get sponsored!

Hold a sports day

A footy fan? Love a good game of golf or heading to the bowls club on a Sunday arvo? Some of our most popular fundraisers are through everyday activities that North Queenslanders love.

You can turn your activity into a fundraiser by selling entry tickets, sourcing prizes from local businesses for a raffle or asking for donations for food and drink. You can even ask your local sporting club to get involved – the more, the merrier!

Christie and Nicole

This superstar duo (pictured here on race day with fellow RMHC Volunteers Carol and Kylie) joined forces to raise funds while participating in the annual Townsville McDonald’s Running Festival! By sharing their page with family and friends, they raised over $500 to help care for sick kids – just amazing!
