Robert Morand's 2021 Fundraising Campaign Supporting RMHC Family Room, Markham Stouffville Hospital

The McHappy Day Fundraising Program for 2021 is up and running! Our campaign team last year was successful at reaching its goal to fund the operation of the Ronald McDonald Family Room at Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH) for a year. This year my personal goal is to raise $4,500 to fund the Family Room for two weeks! This year's fundraising focus is "Family is Medicine" - with a well-cared for family by their side, sick children get stronger. When a child gets seriously ill, the stress can be devastating for a family. Right now, it's hard for families to stay close - but it's even harder for families of sick children, especially those who must travel far from home for medical treatment. The Ronald McDonald Family Room allows families with seriously ill children to stay close during a very difficult time in their lives. Not only is this 'closeness' psychologically comforting, it is proven to aid significantly to the healing process. 100% of your donation goes directly to the York Region, Ronald McDonald Family Room at MSH. A hospital with a 'state of the art' neonatal intensive care unit, that is used by families throughout York and Durham Regions. The cost to run the Family Room is $328 each day, and my goal is to keep it operating for two weeks! Would you like to be a part of helping a sick child and their family? Any amount, that you can donate would be very much appreciated by the thousands of families who will benefit from these wonderful facilities. You will receive an immediate tax receipt for 100% of your donation. Thank you for your consideration, and above all, be safe and well. With gratitude. Robert Morand
