HUSTLE FOR THE HOUSE

Virtual run for Ronald McDonald House Charities

Jun 25, 2020 | 6:45 AM

Local families have another way to support Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) with their typical fundraising events cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

RMHC Alberta has taken its two annual runs and combined them into one province-wide virtual run – Hustle for the House.

From July 6-12 are encouraged to run anywhere, for any distance and any time.

RMHC says houses across the country have seen a drop of between 30 and 70 per cent due to cancellation or postponement of fundraising events.

With this year’s virtual run RMHC is hoping to reach each one of the 194 Alberta communities it served in 2019.
