Why do I support Ronald McDonald House Charities?

“I am honored to become a member of the Celebrity Board of Ronald McDonald House Charities. As a father of three, I value every minute that I spend with my children and family. And especially in the time of a child’s illness, nothing is more important than to have the family unit together to support one another. Ronald McDonald House Charities provides an invaluable resource to parents and families at a critical time in the health and well-being of their kids. And I am delighted to join the RMHC family.” — Al Roker
