To all our Oxford Half Marathon runners, congratulations and thank you! 🏃‍♀️🏃

What an amazing achievement. It was fantastic to see so many of you take on the challenge and cross the finish line last Sunday.

By dedicating your time, energy and determination to fundraising, you've helped us raise vital funds that enable us to support families with a free place to stay close to their child while they're in hospital.

Every mile you ran and donation you received will help make a real difference, giving families comfort, support and the chance to stay together when they need it most.

From all of us at Ronald McDonald House UK, thank you for going the extra mile and for being part of something so special. 👏

Thank you to everyone who supported McHappy Day 2026. Whether you donated, took part in fundraising activities, or visited your local McDonald's restaurant, every contribution helped raise more than £3 million for Ronald McDonald House UK and Ronald McDonald House Ireland. We're so grateful for your support!

A huge thank you to the wonderful teams who have been supporting families staying at our House over the past few weeks. 💛

From getting their hands dirty in the gardens to helping out around the House and treating families to a special evening together, they've made a real difference to the families staying with us.

Celestra helped prepare our back garden for the autumn months, Cantech sourced items for our Grab & Go area before hosting a pizza evening for families, Vertex helped clean a number of our family kitchens, and Miele spent the day refreshing our front garden and planting bulbs ready for spring.

It's amazing what can be achieved when people come together to give their time and support. Every task completed, every space refreshed and every kind gesture helps make our House feel even more like home for families with a child in hospital.

Thank you all for your enthusiasm, generosity and willingness to get stuck in. We loved welcoming you to the House and are so grateful for everything you've done.

Christmas may still feel a little way off, but we're already looking ahead to the festive season and would love your help! 🎄

As we start planning our festive content, we're looking for stories from families who have stayed in a Ronald McDonald House over the last few years. These stories help us show the real impact of keeping families close during some of the most challenging times in their lives.

We're particularly keen to hear from:
Families who stayed in a House over the Christmas period
Families whose siblings were able to stay together
Families who can share how the House helped remove a practical worry during a difficult time
Families from all regions and backgrounds

The stories shared may be featured across our website and social media channels, helping us highlight the importance of our Houses and the families we support.
If you have a story to share, or know a family who might be interested, please get in touch or email [email protected]
Thank you for helping us keep families at the heart of everything we do. ❤️

We've been busy getting ready for McHappy Day! 🍟✨
A huge thank you to our wonderful helpers from the local McDonald's restaurant in Headington who decorated the Day Room and brought along meals for families. Thanks to their creativity and enthusiasm, the House is looking fantastic.

We were also delighted to hand out Build-A-Bears to children staying at the House, bringing plenty of smiles and special moments for families spending time away from home while their child is in hospital.

A huge thank you to Build-A-Bear Workshop! These thoughtful moments can make a real difference to families facing some of the most challenging times in their lives.

McHappy Day takes place this Saturday, 26 September, with £1 from every qualifying main meal purchased at McDonald's being donated to Ronald McDonald House UK.
The day is all about raising awareness of our mission to keep families close to their child during hospital treatment. Whether you're rounding up your order, picking up a meal from your local McDonald's, or simply helping spread the word, every contribution makes a difference. 💛
We're incredibly grateful for the support of our local community and can't wait to celebrate McHappy Day with you all!

As we recognize this September, we're thinking of the NICU families supported by Ronald McDonald House programs around the world ❤️

Families like baby Grayson's.

Grayson was born early at 33 weeks and needed immediate surgery and specialized care. For nearly a month while Grayson was in the NICU, his parents, Paige and Jordan, stayed just steps away at Ronald McDonald House Louisville

"Being at Ronald McDonald House allowed us to be with Grayson in the NICU as much as possible," Paige says. "It was the biggest blessing to us on our journey."

“The facility allowed us to stay focused on our son’s needs while still giving him the chance to enjoy being a child.” - The McHugh Vasquez Family

Jeremy, Jessica, and their three children stayed at Ronald McDonald House Atlanta for over 60 nights while their son participated in a feeding therapy program nearby.

When families can stay close, they can focus on what matters most: caring for and supporting one another throughout their child’s medical journey.

When you're navigating your child's medical journey, everyday activities like getting a haircut can fall to the bottom of the priority list.

At Ronald McDonald House Tampa Bay, Inc., Olivia and her team helped families get back-to-school ready with fresh haircuts. We're grateful to community members like Olivia who give back in meaningful ways, helping families feel supported and experience moments of normalcy during challenging times.

Once a Ronald McDonald House Family, always a Ronald McDonald House Family. ❤️

While Harlow and Hadley were in the NICU, the Rardon family found comfort and support at Ronald McDonald House Charities of Mid-Missouri. Now, the twins have made it a tradition to give back by volunteering at the House each year, even spending part of their birthday this year packing lunches and preparing a meal for families staying at the House.

Thank you, Harlow and Hadley!

Summer days call for a sweet treat! 🍦

When a child is receiving medical care, moments like sharing an ice cream, enjoying a summer activity, or simply spending time together can mean so much.

At Ronald McDonald House, families can hold onto these moments, all while staying close to the care their child needs.

We are so delighted to have the support of local artist KeeleyCreates, who has transformed the front windows of our House with this beautiful summer-inspired design. 🦋
The colourful sunflowers and butterflies have already brought so much joy, with many families telling us how much they brighten their day when returning from the hospital.
Thank you, Keeley, for sharing your talent and helping to create such a warm and welcoming space for our families. We hope to see you again soon! 🌻

“It is not just the House that provided us with a sense of home – it was the people,” says Shawna.

When the Roy family’s daughter, Carly, was in the NICU, her family stayed at Ronald McDonald House South Central Ontario, surrounded by a community of support while their daughter was receiving medical treatment.

For families like the Roys, Ronald McDonald House becomes more than a place to stay. It's a place of comfort and connection and a reminder that they’re not alone.
