Thank you for supporting our biggest MCH Walk yet!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined and supported us on Sunday at Jells Park for the 2026 Monash Children’s Hospital Walk!  
 We had a record turnout from our incredible community, all walking in step to generously raise funds for the Monash Children’s Hospital and the amazing work of our dedicated care teams.

With your support, we surpassed our initial goal of $200,000 and have now raised over $300,000! The funds will support our Paediatric Rheumatology team, to provide world-leading care, equipment and support for patients and families facing a range of conditions affecting muscles, joints and conditions of inflammation. 

It was heart-warming to see so many patient families, fundraisers, sponsors, volunteers and colleagues get amongst the fun for such an important cause. 

For those still wishing to make a donation, fundraising pages will remain open until 22 March:you can visit the MCH Walk website here. 
 
You can check out 9News Melbourne’s coverage from the day below and some of the event photos. 
 
Thank you to those who attended or donated – your support, energy and generosity made the day truly special! Every dollar raised will make a positive and important impact for the patients and families we care for.
