We are excited to share a special opportunity for our community, thanks to our friends at Ronald McDonald House Charities Sydney.
This year, Ronald McDonald House Charities ACT & SE NSW is bringing together a team to join Walk Me Home, an incredible 25km coastal walk that raises vital funds to support sick and injured children and their families. Even better, all donations raised by Team RMHC ACT will directly support families staying with us here in Canberra and across South East NSW.
You can join or donate to our team & also learn more about the event here: https://www.walkmehome.org.au/fundraisers/rmhcact
If you are interested in joining Team RMHC ACT, you can sign up via the link above or reach out to our team at [email protected].
When registering, please ensure you join Team RMHC ACT so all funds raised go directly to supporting local families at RMHC ACT & SE NSW.
Thank you to our friends at Ronald McDonald House Charities Sydney for allowing our team to be part of this great day and make a difference for families across our region.

Our compassionate community, offering hands-on support, lending a listening ear, preparing home cooked meals, manning stalls at our community events & helping with the day-to-day running of our House. Every task, big or small, helps families stay close to their child during the toughest time of their lives.
