About Ronald McDonald House

Ronald McDonald House Charities is a nationally recognised not-for-profit organisation that aims to provide a home away from home for seriously ill children and their families who live out of area from hospital access. Ronald McDonald Houses provide a comfortable and calm retreat for families during this time of need, the houses strive to provide a caring and calm environment in which families can continue their daily routine as best as possible despite the circumstances. 

The concept of Ronald McDonald House Charities arose in 1974 when American football hero Fred Hill's three-year-old daughter, Kim, was diagnosed with Leukaemia. The Hill's family found themselves forced to sleep on hospital benches and chairs as their daughter undertook her lengthy treatment. The Hill family began to realise that they were not the only family in this situation; many families who were in similar circumstances weren't able to afford long-term accommodation. 

Fred brought his teammates together to raise money for families in need, he also made a deal which resulted in the purchase of a seven-bedroom house to serve as accommodation for families with ill children. 

Local McDonald's restaurant owners joined forces and organised a special sale of mint-flavoured milkshakes to raise money to renovate the house, in which they raised over $35,000. The relationship between the charity and the restaurants grew from there, and now we have Ronald McDonald House.
