This March, I'm taking part in Up All Night, walking through the night to help provide a home away from home and vital support services for WA families with sick children.

This cause is deeply personal to me and my family.

When our two-year-old daughter, Everleigh, became critically unwell and was rushed to Perth Children's Hospital, we faced one of the most frightening and challenging periods of our lives. There were sleepless nights, constant uncertainty, medical procedures, and the overwhelming worry that comes with seeing your child seriously unwell.

During that time, Ronald McDonald House Charities WA provided invaluable support. The Family Room at the hospital gave us a place to step away from the ward, recharge, and allow Everleigh to simply be a child through play, activities, and moments of normality. That support made an enormous difference when we needed it most.

For families with sick kids needing to travel far from home to access specialist medical care, sleepless nights are sadly just part of the journey. By walking a night in their shoes, I hope to help ensure these families have access to the same care, comfort, accommodation and support that helped us through our toughest moments.

The funds I raise will help Ronald McDonald House WA continue providing accommodation, support and stability for families with sick children, allowing them to stay close to their loved ones when they need each other most.

If you're able to, please consider making a donation and helping make a difference in the lives of WA families with sick children.

Thank you for your kindness and support. 🩷
