3-10-2026 Community Focus- Ronald McDonald House

Kelly Pederson, a Ronald McDonald House Charities mom, joins to share her family’s emotional journey as her four-year-old daughter, Lacie, undergoes multiple heart surgeries. Kelly talks about how the Ronald McDonald House has become a vital home-away-from-home, giving their family a place to rest, recharge, and find support while focusing on Lacie’s recovery and growing strength each day. She also highlights the difference RMHC makes for families facing medical crises far from home. Through March 17th, local McDonald’s owner/operators will donate 25 cents from every Shamrock Shake sold to Ronald McDonald House Charities Upper Midwest, a promotion that raises more than $50,000 annually and helps provide complimentary lodging, meals, and essential support for families traveling to Minnesota and across the Upper Midwest in search of the best care for their children. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
