On October 13th, we'll proudly represent Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) at the 2024 Bank of America Chicago Marathon! As part of Team RMHC, we're committed to training, fundraising, and conquering 26.2 miles to uphold the unity of families.

Your involvement will create a haven—a warm, comforting space—for families navigating the unimaginable challenges of their child's distant medical care. Your support directly stabilizes the lives of families in our Portland and Bangor homes.

Through your generosity, we aim to offer over 100 nights of essential accommodations to families in crisis. Approximately 72% of our families can't afford the suggested $10/night fee, making your contribution pivotal in sustaining both houses. A night's stay costs $100, and your support ensures families find solace. In 2023, we saved our families over $1.7 million in housing and food expenses, easing their financial strain.

Your support in advance is deeply appreciated. Together, we can profoundly impact the lives of these children and their families. Thank you for joining us on this running journey.
