Ronald McDonald House Charities UK is an independent charity providing free 'home away from home’ accommodation for families with children in hospital. Thanks to your donations, we are able to provide up to 530 families with accommodation each night so they can be together no matter what.

Story

Me and my family will be participating in a sky dive to raise funds for RMHC. We hope by participating in this Skydive event we will help raise awareness of the issues that families face during difficult times and help provide support for the families to come. 

Our story 

As you may be aware in December 2022 Leanne gave birth to an incredible little fighter Ashton Campbell. Unfortunately at 32 weeks gestation Ashton was diagnosed with severe Tricuspid regurgitation and severe left ventricular disfunction.  

Born in to NICU and since being readmitted to PICU Ashton has had a very difficult start to life, with no clear indication of what his future holds. This has been an incredibly difficult time for the family, that without the help of RMHC would be so much harder. Ashton has been in hospital for 5 weeks this time around (a total of 9 weeks over two separate stays) and having the RMHC means that Mum and Dad are able to stay very close to Ashton and have a place to find some space when they aren’t bedside. 

Ronald McDonald House Charities UK provides free ‘home away from home’ accommodation to families with children having treatment in hospital. Their 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 like ours can be by their child’s bedside in a matter of moments, with reduced emotional and financial strain. RMHC help over 6,000 families each year and now, more than ever, they need our support.
