I'm fundraising for CEO Walk In My Shoes
I am joining my fellow CEOs in experiencing a day in the life of a family who stays at Ronald McDonald House Charities Central West NSW.
Why am I doing this?
Imagine that you have just received the worst news possible – your child is seriously ill and you need to relocate your family in order to receive the lifesaving treatment that your child needs.
You would drop everything right? But what does that actually mean?
The families that stay at Ronald McDonald House Charities are away from their home, their support system and everything they know. The House provides them with support to ensure they can concentrate on what is most important, their sick child and family.
These are just a few things Ronald McDonald House Charities provide to families
- A House that is open 365 days a year, to ensure families have a place to stay at no charge
- Support sick kids and their families through various programs
- Make sure families have a home cooked meal and most importantly
- Continue keeping families together during this difficult time
Kids should be living life, NOT fighting for it!
I am asking you to support me in helping Ronald McDonald House Charities Orange continue providing a warm and supportive home-away-from-home for families of children travelling to the House for treatment.
If it were your child or a loved one's child wouldn't you want to know that they had this level of support?

A Powerful Start !!
Thursday 24th AprSince posting about my upcoming CEO Walk in My Shoes challenge yesterday, I’ve been completely overwhelmed—in the best way possible.
In just 48 hours, we’ve already raised $500, and I’m honestly blown away by the generosity and support. But more than just donations, what’s truly touched me is the number of people who have reached out to share their own stories.
So many have told me about their personal experiences with Ronald McDonald House—how it supported them during some of the most difficult times of their lives, how it kept their families close when they needed each other most. These stories have added a whole new level of meaning to what I’m doing. I can’t believe how many people this incredible organisation has helped, and it’s only made me more motivated to keep going.
This walk isn’t just about raising funds—it’s about raising awareness. And already, I feel like we’re making a real impact.
Thank you to everyone who’s donated, shared, or opened up to me. If you haven’t had a chance to contribute yet, there’s still time—and every little bit helps.
Let’s keep it going!
