Mission complete!! Thanks for the support and the donations!! This accomplishment was a tremendous team effort!!

We care about the well-being of children and families. So back in 1974, we helped Ronald McDonald House Charities® (RMHC) open the first Ronald McDonald House® for families with sick children. To this day, we stand by RMHC in their commitment to ensure families with sick children can always stay close to each other and the care and resources they need. In our restaurants, we help support the work of RMHC and its 260+ local Chapters both in your neighborhoods and in communities around the world.

Years ago, my father A.L "Bud" Jones" and his team at Golin / Harris Communications (a talented fun loving bunch) had an opportunity to help grow the Ronald House starting with opening 2 thru 120 and then passing the torch to others to take the mission forward. Over the years, I have had an opportunity to work for McDonald's as a crew kid while in high school and more recently as an Accenture Consultant working on what was a global supply chain program called "Store of the Future".

I have previously raised money while participating in the Chicago Marathon and thought this would be another great opportunity to remind people of the phenomenal work that the McDonald's owner operators and their customers do supporting the Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Thanks for supporting the RMHC,

Jeff
