Barnet pair’s high altitude adventure for charity
Two intrepid adventurers from New Barnet, north London, have conquered the inhospitable slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro to raise nearly £2,000 for our Charity. Housemates Leo Nakhimoff, 27, and Oliver Shanks, 34, reached a height of 19,341 feet between Sunday 1 January and Friday 6 January 2012. Thank you very much, your efforts are so inspiring. Read more about their expedition here.

Bring festive cheer to our Houses
There’s no place like home for the holidays. But for some families with children in hospital, “home” isn’t gathered around their family tree. It’s being close to their sick child miles from their front door. Visit our page to find out how we support families 365 days a year, even on Christmas day and throughout December. But more importantly, find out how you can get involved and help keep families together during the holidays.

Tooting House celebrates 6th Anniversary
On 13 December, our Ronald McDonald House Tooting celebrated its 6th anniversary by hosting a Christmas Raffle draw and unveiling of the latest donation plaques on our Tree of Life. We were joined by volunteers and friends of the Charity as well as the Mayor for Wandsworth, Cllr Jane Cooper. Local businessman and McDonald’s franchisee, Kalpesh Patel, presented a £10,000 cheque to the Charity. The Paul family, who stayed in the House two years ago, shared their very moving story with everyone present. Have a look at the photos taken on the day.
