On the 27th of June, 8 of us from the McDonald’s Finance team are trading spreadsheets for walking boots and taking on the mighty Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge! That’s 24 miles, over 5,000 feet of total ascent, and three serious summits—Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough—all in under 12 hours. Gulp.

Why are we doing this? To challenge ourselves, of course—but more importantly, to raise money for a cause close to our hearts.

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.
