History of the Event

Established over 5 years ago, ‘Christmas Lights On the Move’ is an annual fundraising event supporting Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) North Australia. This family-friendly event encourages participants to get in the Christmas spirit and ride, walk, run, skip or scoot in support of North Australian families with sick and injured children.

Helping to support local seriously ill children and their families

All funds raised will assist RMHC North Australia operations and commitment to the following programs:

Hospital-adjacent Ronald McDonald House can accommodate 25 families and over 100 people each night

Ronald McDonald Family Retreat in Palm Cove gives families with a critically ill child or families suffering from a bereavement the chance to take time out together for a family getaway

 Ronald McDonald Learning Program helping children catch up on their schooling missed due to serious illness and injury by providing access to 40hrs of free one-on-one tutoring with a qualified teacher and scholarships to assist with further education

In-hospital Ronald McDonald Family Room provides all the necessities, comforts and conveniences of home within the Townsville Hospital and provides a place of respite away from clinical areas

RMHC North Australia Hospitality Cart at Mount Isa Hospital, the first of its kind in Australia, provides practical support and comfort in offering boredom-busters and learning activities, practical care and comfort items as well as snacks and beverages
