Move for the House is a month-long, feel-good movement challenge held throughout July, encouraging people from McDonald's Australia of all ages and abilities to move every day in support of families with ill or injured children.

Whether it’s walking, running, cycling or something entirely your own, every move helps raise vital funds so families can stay together, stay strong and remain close to their child’s care.

Move for the House puts families at the heart of care by raising vital funds for Ronald McDonald House® Australia, helping families stay close to their child’s treatment when it matters most.

When Halle arrived at just 26 weeks, everything changed overnight.
Kim and Grant were suddenly navigating a world of uncertainty, long hospital days, and time far from home.

While Halle received critical care in the NICU, Kim stayed close by her side, spending 96 nights at Ronald McDonald House Canberra.

Because when a child is in hospital, families don’t just visit.
Family stays.

“Ronald McDonald House gave us hope when we had very little,” Kim says.
“It gave our family support when we needed it most… and a place to stay close to Halle.”

Staying close meant Kim could be there for every moment that mattered, while also finding the strength to care for herself. Surrounded by other families on similar journeys, she found connection, support, and friendships that continue today.

Today, Halle is happy and healthy, a powerful reminder of what’s possible when families can stay together, close to the care their child needs.

And through Move for the House, you help make more stories like Halle’s possible, so more families can stay when they’re needed most.
