Run for Ronald 6/16/12

The best things in life are given rather than received. On Saturday, my daughter and husband joined me for my first appearance as the newly crowned Ms. Captivating. We participated in the Run for Ronald 5k which raises money for the Indiana Ronald McDonald House. This is such an amazing organization because it provides a home-away-from-home for families with chronically ill children at a low to no cost. They provide a warm bed, toiletries, food, and even counseling to help families cope with caring for an ill child. 





Each year the Indiana Chapter of Ronald McDonald House hosts a 5k to raise money to run the facility. If it were not for people like you and me, they would not be able to care for their families like they do now. The money raised from the run pay for the maintenance of the facility, the utilities, the food, and various other services. A child should not have to go through surgery or treatment alone and without their family and the RMH allows family to be there at all times but also gives parents a quiet safe place to get away as well.

If you are looking for an amazing organization to get involved with, this is an amazing one. Here are pictures from my time at the 5k fundraiser:
