Hampton Court Palace Half Marathon · 20 March 2016

Ronald McDonald House UK helps families with children in hospital stay close by providing free accommodation just minutes from children’s hospital wards. Our Houses provide more than accommodation. We offer stability and emotional support that allow parents and carers to be active partners in care.

Story

Hello! Thanks for visiting my Just Giving page.
I didn't know anything about the Ronald McDonald House charity until recently, so maybe neither do you. In their own words: 
'At Ronald McDonald House Charities we provide free ‘home away from home’ accommodation at specialist children's hospitals across the UK, enabling families to stay close to their child and maintain a degree of normal family life.'

I found out about the charity because my friend Phil's baby George was born with some health difficulties and will be in and out of hospital for some time. Please take a moment to read Phil's blog: http://georgejonessite.com/
It's thoughtful, inspiring, funny and has lots of cute baby pictures of George and his big brother Ben.
It will also show you how important Ronald McDonald House is.

So a few of us are running a half marathon next Sunday (that's almost 22k! Eek!) and thought it would be a good idea to use it as an opportunity to raise some money for an absolutely vital cause.
