Over these few weeks, McDonald's Singapore is holding a series of fundraising activities in support of the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC), to help continue to bring love to sick and hospitalized children. The series of activities are held in conjunction with a global movement by McDonald's restaurants around thew world to celebrate the Charity's 40 years of helping children.
Since its inception in 1989, RMHC has helped over 900 needy and sick children with their medical, surgical and rehabilitative treatment costs. Since January 2013, it has also provided a "home away from home" at no charge for families to be able to stay close to their hospitalized children at the National University Hospital (NUH).
