Ronald McDonald House Charities: Helping Canadian Families For More Than 30 Years

As soon as I knew I was pregnant, I started worrying. Becoming a parent is one of the most amazing experiences – but I never imagined in a million years how emotional I would be when it came to my daughter.

I remember my first “alone” outing with Hannah – we had to get her blood tested because she was showing signs of jaundice. Chris had to get to work and was unable to stay. I hate needles (and blood) but I knew I had to be strong for my days old daughter. I don’t know how I would deal with my daughter being REALLY sick.

Thankfully we live in the same city that houses The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). And I am so grateful that Hannah is healthy.

Unfortunately, not every family is as lucky as ours and not every family has healthy children or lives close to a children’s hospital.

Thankfully there is Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC).

#McHappyDay is Wednesday, May 8th!

I love Big Macs, and I REALLY love Big Macs with a cause.

On Wednesday, May 8th, $1 from every Big Mac®, Happy Meal®, and Hot McCafé® beverage you buy at McDonald's will be donated to Ronald McDonald Houses and other children's charities across Canada.

The RMHC® program is dedicated to helping sick children and their families in times of need. Ronald McDonald Houses provide accommodation and support for 10,000 Canadian families each year. You can watch the video below to learn about how Ronald McDonald House Charities helps give sick children what they need most – their families.

See you at McDonald's on May 8th!
