Story

I am now 17 years old.  I still play both soccer and basketball, I am in HOSA, a medical organization, and I compete in Physical Therapy. I have two jobs and I am starting to look at colleges!  I definitely stay busy, but the Ronald McDonald House is still a prominent part of my heart.  By now… many of you are probably expecting this letter.  But in case you are new on my list, here’s the summary… seven years ago, I fell very ill, and it took the grace of God, many doctors and nurses, weeks at Dell Children's, and a year of crazy amounts of medicine to help me recover.  But I did, and was able to return to the many activities I love.

To celebrate and appreciate everyone who helped me heal and to help other sick kids and their families, each year I raise money to support Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Texas ( rmhc-ctx.org ) So far, with your generous help, we've been able to raise more than $20,000 over the past six years, and that's gone a long way to provide for families in need.  

This year I'm setting an aggressive goal to raise $5000The money you donate will provide meals for these families, rooms for them to stay in, and toys for the children to boost morale.  Your support really matters, so I hope you will join me in paying it forward, whatever your story may be.
