McDonald’s eateries in Tamworth will be raising money on the day; $2 from every Big Mac sold goes directly to RMHC, while people can also buy socks for $5, helping hands from $2 to $50, or donate a gold coin.

McDonald’s Australia and Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) hope to raise more than $4.5 million, which equates to more than 34,000 nights accommodation.
Since 1981, the Ronald McDonald Houses have collectively housed over 3.4 million nightly guests. This number is set to grow, with demand from families increasing.
“This power of family closeness is a driving factor in the work of RMHC,” McDonald’s Australia said.
“Families tell us that their ability to stay together during their child’s treatment has a positive effect on both their child’s psychological well-being, and on the pace of recovery.”
