My Story…
Shortly after birth, our daughter Fia was flown by medivac from Whitehorse, Yukon to Edmonton due to an unexpected emergency resulting in hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (a type of brain injury from lack of oxygen). She was admitted to the NICU at the Stollery Children's Hospital and my husband and I were flown down several hours after her. We had no idea where we would stay and were very fortunate to learn about Ronald McDonald House from a social worker. We ended up spending a month at the Edmonton house while Fia was in the hospital and there are no words to describe the level of comfort, privacy, and understanding that the house offers to families going through both emergency and routine medical care for their children. It was a traumatic time for us, we were in shock, and the Edmonton house was our safe haven. Since then, we have stayed there multiple times when we fly down for her specialist appointments. RMH has made a huge difference for us and we want to help other families!
Description
RMHC Alberta is so excited to announce our very first virtual run! I'm running and fundraising to support the families who need to stay at a Ronald McDonald House in Alberta.
In 2019, RMHC Alberta served families from 194 communities across Alberta.
The Houses in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, and Medicine Hat are not a nice to have; they are a must have. 1 in 4 Canadians knows someone who has needed to rely on a Ronald McDonald House. I'm lacing up my shoes in support of those families, support me in my efforts to Hustle for the House!
I invite you to join me on this journey; I'm going the distance to run, but need your help to go the distance for RMHC families who need your support now more than ever.
