I'm walking All Night Long! But I need your help

I'm joining a celebration of courage to raise funds for sick kids and their families.
Each day can feel like a marathon for sick kids and their families. Which is why I'm walking 42km All Night Long this October.

Recently my cousin and her almost 6 month old little man spent an unexpected 3 weeks in Auckland Starship hospital. I walk in gratitude of the care for Little Willy and for the support Sally received through this time. 

Here is what she had to say about Ronald McDonald House - "Ronald McDonald was a life saver for us during one of the toughest times of our lives. After spending all day in intensive care with Willy, we'd go back to a warm room, a hot shower, and often a cooked meal. Even though it was the last place we wanted to be, Ronald McDonald was our home away from home for three weeks. Five month old Willy ended up in Starship after he was unable to get off the ventilator in Christchurch after a big surgery to fix his long gap Esophageal atresia. While recovering, he got a massive infection, meaning his stay was much longer than anticipated. He's doing well now and is a happy smiley baby who's making leaps and bounds."

This is where you can help. Please donate what you can. Every dollar you give will support sick kids in Queensland and give me the inspiration and energy I need to walk All Night Long and support other families with sick kids. Please donate now. 💛
