Why I Walk for Kids

Faced with a child’s illness, life shifts instantly, and parents enter a world of fear and worry. For parents who don’t live close to the medical care their child needs, there’s an added stress. Living expenses can quickly add up. There could be long drives from home to the hospital, worried siblings, lost jobs, and uncertainty around finding and paying for nutritious meals. These are extra burdens no family should have to experience.

With the generosity of our community, the efforts of our volunteers, staff, and local McDonald’s restaurant owner-operators, we are providing essential services that remove barriers, strengthen families, and promote healing when children need healthcare. 

Last year, Ronald McDonald House Southern Arizona cared for more than 300 families who needed to travel to Tucson for a child's medical care. Learn more about the families they serve at www.ronaldmcdonaldhousesouthernaz.org/our-stories.

Every donation you make towards my goal stays right here in Southern Arizona, helping families heal together even when they're far from home.

Thanks for your support!
