3rd Annual Footsteps for Families Charity Walk Benefiting the Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley
On Sunday, Oct. 13, family, friends and supporters of the Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley will walk to raise money at the 3rd Annual Footsteps for Families Charity Walk. This family-friendly event will take place at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital at Westchester Medical Center (100 Woods Road) starting at 9:30 am.
Proceeds from this event will benefit families who stay at the Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley, the temporary home-away-from-home that keeps families close to their children when they are hospitalized due to serious illness or traumatic injury. This year, three-year-old cancer survivor, Joshua Lopez has been selected as the Grand Marshal of the event. His family are past guests of the Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley and avid supporters of the house.
