“I first learned of Ronald McDonald House and its amazing work over 25 years ago when one of my childhood friends became sick. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to have volunteered with Ronald McDonald House Charities Toronto and been part of its incredible mission. A family’s love is so powerful – especially in helping a sick child get better.”
