I am running on behalf of Ronald McDonald House Charities UK because when our 5 week old baby was admitted into Birmingham’s Children’s Hospital in an emergency they were there from day one to help us. We had been flown in by air ambulance with just the clothes on our backs and they helped us with everything we needed. I will be forever grateful for their ongoing support for our little family whilst we stay in Birmingham.

Ronald McDonald House Charities UK provides free ‘home away from home’ accommodation to families with children having treatment in hospital. Our Houses offer much more than just a place to stay; they provide family activities, peer support, respite, and many other services. This means that families can be by their child’s bedside in a matter of moments, whilst maintaining a degree of normal life with reduced emotional and financial strain.We help over 6,000 families each year and now, more than ever, we need your support. Thank you.
