Please help us raise funds for Finnan's Gift at the Royal Children's Hospital (RCH), Melbourne.  Finnan's Gift was set up by Alisa and Oliver Camplin-Warner to honour their son Finnan who was diagnosed in-utero with CHD and passed away at just 10-days-old. The project aims to raise funds for The Royal Children's Hospital and awareness for CHD, which is the leading cause of death in young children in Australia.

On 11 September 2013 our daughter and sister, Estelle, was born with undiagnosed congenital heart disease (CHD). After numerous surgeries and procedures she passed away at 39-days-old.

We have recently spent Estelle's fifth birthday without her in our arms.  We continue to support Finnan's Gift not only to raise awareness of CHD but to also raise funds for a charity who make a tangible difference.  Finnan's Gift is a proactive charity, liasing with the RCH Cardiac Unit to strengthen knowledge and resources, to change outcomes for babies and children.  That deserves everyone's support!

2018 will be the seventh consecutive year that Team Finnan's Gift will take part in the Melbourne Marathon Festival, and yet again, we will be turning up in style!  To date, Team Finnan’s Gift has raised over $90,000 for the Royal Children’s Hospital and have had over 200 runners be a part of the team. Amazingly, we’ve also had a number of runners who keep coming back! Some have done two, some three and some all six races!!! 

This year we’re aiming for a Team Finnan’s Gift record!  We’ve set a highly ambitious fundraising goal of $50,000 - and our 2019 Finnan's Gift Grant will be announced shortly!

This year we are again walking 3km as a family as part of Team Finnan's Gift in memory of our gorgeous Estelle.

We are proud that Estelle, and because of her our family and friends, are a part of making a difference.  Thank you so much for your ongoing support and contribution to our effort in the Melbourne Marathon Festival!
