Hello

Thursday 13th Apr

My name is Martine and I am taking part in a trek to Base Camp Everest with MCRF & The Royal Hospital for Women. After receiving my own incredible care from the hospital and learning more about the MCRF, I couldn’t be more prouder to support this cause. 


MCRF have worked extensively with the Hospital over the years and have raised over $600k!


All funds raised from the 2023 Everest Base Camp Trek will go towards funding the WHEAT Trial currently being undertaken in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit at The Royal. 

WHEAT stands for WithHolding or continuing Enteral feeds Around blood Transfusion and aims to prevent necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) in preterm infants born before 30 weeks. Necrotising Enterocolitis (NEC) is a neonatal disease associated with high risks of death and disability.

Every donation, no matter how big or small will get us one step closer to preventing this devastating disease in premature babies at The Royal and beyond. 

First meet up

Thursday 27th Apr

It’s been 2 weeks since I shared my news about trekking to base camp Everest and I am completely blown away by every single person who has already donated and sent their words of encouragement and motivation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.


You have helped in so many ways, by raising vital funds and more importantly helping raise awareness. My own personal experience at the Royal Women’s Hospital was incredible but I wasn’t aware of the work and research that is needed at the NICU department. 


Thank you 


I met the MCRF team last Sunday and we done a 24km trek along the Kiama coast. The views were breathe taking but I was blown away by the team. So many different people from different backgrounds coming together for a greater cause. It was very humbling and actually quite emotional. To think these people were strangers to me 2 weeks ago but I’ll make it to base camp Everest with them and tick of a huge bucket list item, while raising awareness and vital funds to help premature babies… incredible.

Kiama 24km coast trek last week

Practice makes perfect

Friday 1st Sep
We have been getting together whenever possible and taking on treks down the south coast and it has been very enjoyable! Getting to know the rest of the group before BCE is important as you will likely need your group to motivate and encourage you throughout the trek. Stronger together ?

Thank you to my generous donors

You are an absolute inspiration. I lived in Ronald McDonald House with my daughter for the first 4 years of her life at Randwick . She was born at the Royal Women‘a Hospital and was extremely unwell. Thank you for fundraising to change families lives. Especially given your own journey. Bless your heart!
