I'm fundraising for CEO Walk In My Shoes
I am joining my fellow CEOs in experiencing a day in the life of a family who stays at Ronald McDonald House Charities Greater Western Sydney.
Why am I doing this?
In 2017, I received an out of the blue phone call informing me that my
mum had encountered complications whilst having a short stay at her local
regional hospital recovering from the flu and had been rushed to ICU in Perth.
At short notice, my family had to immediately drive over 300km to Perth and I
had to fly from Sydney. We spent over 10 days at ICU with my mum. In
addition to dealing with the emotional stress of having a loved one
unexpectedly critically ill, we also had to manage all other aspects of day to day
life, a long way from home. This was expensive and an unfamiliar environment
for my family. I remember the entire time of the experience thinking how
confronting and devastating it was and how much worse it would be if you were
facing that with your children being in critical care. So, for families in this
situation to be able to access the support and resources of Ronald McDonald
House is genuinely priceless and fundraising for a cause like this is the least I
can do.
You would drop everything right? But what does that actually mean?
The families that stay at Ronald McDonald House Charities are away from their home, their support system and everything they know. The House provides them with support to ensure they can concentrate on what is most important, their sick child and family.
These are just a few things Ronald McDonald House Charities provide to families
- A House that is open 365 days a year, to ensure families have a place to stay at no charge
- Support sick kids and their families through various programs
- Make sure families have a home cooked meal and most importantly
- Continue keeping families together during this difficult time
Kids should be living life, NOT fighting for it!
I am asking you to support me in helping Ronald McDonald House Charities Greater Western Sydney continue providing a warm and supportive home-away-from-home for families of children travelling to the House for treatment.
If it were your child or a loved one's child wouldn't you want to know that they had this level of support?
Thank you to my Sponsors
