Their mission is, “One day…all babies will be born healthy.”
LDA is not able to hold the Food & Fitness 5K Run/Walk in 2009. On the
traditional date of the race, the "Run For The House" will take place on
March 28th, 2009,10:00 a.m. at Hawk Island. Help
make a difference for families of seriously ill children. Your
participation in the Run For The House 5K Run/Walk will help the Ronald
McDonald House of Mid-Michigan provide a home-away-from-home for those
families who have a child being hospitalized or receiving treatment at
Lansing-area hospitals and clinics. The House offers a comfortable,
inexpensive and private place for families to sleep, eat and relax.
Here families find a caring atmosphere where they can receive strength and
encouragement from others who are also going through difficult times.
