Help us raise money

For participating in RIDE-4-RONALD 2017

Our story…

Welcome to the Hearts and Handlebars team. We have come together for 1 main purpose, to raise funds for this AMAZING organization. As a Ronald McDonald House family alumni, I respect everything this organization does and stands for. For had these house not existed, caring for our daughter Macy would have been a challenge. Our family is from Brevard County. Macy was in need of specialized care which could not be provided for her where we were living. At 3 days old, Macy was transported to Florida Children's Hospital, their team of doctors and nurses took care of our little girl for 5 months. Thanks to RMH, we were able to stay at one of their houses while Macy received the medical care she needed. So thank you for joining our team of riders. We are families helping families. We are giving back to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Florida. Thank you all for everything that you do. Christy Roschen 2017 Ride 4 Ronald Team Captain

Description

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Florida finds, creates, and supports programs that directly improve the health and well-being of children and families.

Our cornerstone program, the Ronald McDonald House, provides a home away from home for families with children receiving treatment at hospitals and medical facilities in Orlando. Before the Ronald McDonald Houses, parents were sleeping in their cars or in chairs in the waiting room, eating out of vending machines, or bearing the expense of impersonal hotel rooms.

There are three Ronald McDonald Houses in Orlando - one on the campus of Arnold Palmer Medical Center, one on the campus of Florida Hospital for Children, and one on the campus of Nemours Children's Hospital. Each year, about 2,000 families stay with us to be close to their critically ill children.
