Due to injury or serious illness, over 60,000 families will use Ronald McDonald House Charities services each year. For families experiencing the distress of hospital visits, you can offer practical and emotional support to help families tackle the big feelings, and come out stronger.

Located close to most major children’s hospitals, Ronald McDonald Houses provide a warm, safe, home-away-from-home when seriously ill or injured children require specialist care and treatment. Whether they’re far from their home town in regional or rural Australia, or need around-the-clock care, your support makes sure they can stay together, close to the critical medical facilities they need.
Every dollar your raise can help provide valuable family-centred care that plays an important role for families while their child receives life-saving treatment. Your dedicated dancing can improve families ability to cope in uncertain times, with practical care to reduce the stress and costs that come with serious injury or illness.
MEET ANUNTA
At just 11 years old, Anunta was 100km from home, and learned that the cyst on her ankle was, in fact, a cancerous sarcoma.
With no clothes, and nowhere to stay, Anunta’s parents, Doungnead and Anthony, didn’t know what to do.
Thankfully, Ronald McDonald House Charities were able to provide a room for the family. When Anunta started chemotherapy, Doungnead was able to provide a taste of home, cooking fresh meals in their own little kitchen while the family focussed all their attention on her treatment.
“Being in a place where everyone cares about you, and is there for you, was so special. It became our second home” Anunta's Mum, Doungnead
It always feels good to dance... Dancing for Sick Kids feels life-changing.
