Want to join the Zumberger family in making a difference? We are raising money to benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Miami Valley Region Inc, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to us.
Five years ago after the birth of our daughter, Ivy, we found ourselves faced with the situation of her being sent down to Dayton Children's Hospital, due to serious drops in oxygen during her feedings, causing her to turn blue. Little did we know, we would spend the next 8 days in the NICU with her for many tests and monitoring, as well as months of appointments and hour long feedings. We are excited to say she is a thriving, active and a healthy 5 year old today!
We are forever grateful for the awesome staff at Dayton Children's Hospital as well as the Ronald McDonald's House, RMH, of Dayton.
Being able to stay at the RMH was an incredible stress relief not having to travel back and forth living an hour from Dayton, and having meals donated to us (and the other families). This allowed us to spend as much time as possible at the hospital with Ivy. Without the gracious donations and facilities of RMH and Dayton Children's we are not sure how we would have made it through the 8 days. This is very minimal compared to many others in the NICU as well as families with young children battling illnesses.
There are many families who go through these situations every day and we think it is important for us to keep giving back to RMH so others in the future can have the same help in hard times that we were able to have.
As a result, we are challenging all families out there to spend more time together during these hard times. We will be completing a Calendar Challenge and challenge your family to compete along with us. This is a challenge where you run or exercise the number of miles associated with the number day of the month. For example, day 1 = 1 mile, day 2 = 2 miles up to 31 miles on the last day. The month of May totals 496 miles. Greg, will be running the challenge in kilometers and our family will be adding the additional mileage through family activities to reach the 496 total miles. 496 kilometers equals 308 miles, so Greg will be running 308 miles in total and our family will be doing an additional 188 miles (running, biking, walking, etc) together to reach the goal of 496 miles.
Our goal during this challenge is to raise $2,000 to give to the RMH of Dayton to help continue providing resources for families going through similar situations in order to minimize their stress and focus on their families through the hard times.
