Pennies From the Heart I ran 7 miles today, not very much but it was really fun and I was running for Kids  I did it with my Young Marines Unit. And i believe we got 3rd place, in amounts of laps i think it was around 60-75 laps. But there are more Ronald McDonald Houses all over, and im going to try to run for as many of them as i can. Its raising money to keep the House going for the kids. So it all goes to a good cause. "The mission of the Ronald McDonald House of Loma Linda is to provide a “home away from home” for families of critically ill and injured children receiving medical treatment at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital and nearby medical facilities." |

Awesome, bro! My family benefited from the Ronald McDonald House near Children's Hospital in Buffalo back in 1984/85, while my sister was hospitalized for a month with a broken back. (Long story short, her back was broken in a car accident that we were in shortly before Christmas that year, when the metal toolbox in the trunk slid forward and hit her in the back  .) Without the RMH being there to house my family, my parents would have had a lot of extra expenses and time wasted in traveling the 75-minute one-way trips back and forth to the hospital. On behalf of my family and the countless others who have been helped by the many Ronald McDonald Houses over the years, thank you for stepping up (and running out!  ) to help this organization take care of families in need!   |
