I have no idea what it’s like to be far away from the comforts of home, in a completely new state, seeking medical care for my sick child. I have no idea. But as a mom, I can certainly imagine how difficult that would be on me, my husband, and our children. The emotional toll alone would be horrible, but than the physical toll of being in a hospital room for hours upon hours would just add to it. I pray that my children stay healthy and we just have to deal with the occasional cold or virus!
So although I can not empathize with families who are going through this, I can most certainly sympathize, and so can the #mlhseniorrolemodels team. Which is why we have chosen to support the Ronald McDonald House in Charlotte, a charity organization that provides affordable living for families in need while their loved ones are recieving treatment at a local children’s hospital.
We decided to create an event, in which we could come together with family, friends, and others in the community to raise money to support RMH in Charlotte. The idea of creating a walk-a-thon was an easy decision. Any form of exercise falls right in line with your mission to “live a life-well lived.” We believe in the crazy awesome health benefits of exercising daily. The walk-a-thon is also an event that anyone can participate in. Whether you are a super cross fit athlete or just a casual street walker or a mom who rocks out pushing those kiddos in the stroller! This event is for YOU!
