This July, be a Ronald McDonald House Hero – walk, run or wheel 79 miles  and raise money to help bring families closer together when they need it most.

Description

For families with a sick child in the UK, 79 miles is the average distance between their front door and a hospital with specialist care.

That’s 79 miles of motorways, sleepless nights, and the ache of time apart. 79 miles between home, and where their heart is.

But this July, you can be a House Hero, helping keep families close when it matters most. Take on 79 miles your way, and raise vital funds to keep our Ronald McDonald Houses open – so we can give carers, parents and siblings a free warm bed and a hot meal just steps away from the child they love, for as long as they need.

All you need to get started is a big heart. Are you in?
