Join us for Run for Ronald’s second annual fundraiser in support of Ronald McDonald House!
It all happens on Sunday May 26th, 2024 from 10am to 2pm in Stonewall, Manitoba!
The first year for Run for Ronald was put on last year in May 2023. It began by a former student of College Stonewall Collegiate who faced a health scare that meant them and their family needed to stay close to the hospital in Vancouver for a week. They were given the opportunity to stay at Ronald McDonald house. They were so grateful the Ronald McDonald house was able to provide a safe and calm place for them when they needed, but while there, they were struck by the number of people who were even sicker and needed more support from this facility.
When they were ready to come home, they knew right away that they wanted to give back to Ronald McDonald House.

Proclaimed in 2017, June marks Portuguese Heritage month and Portugal Day June 10th, which marks the death of Luis de Camoes, considered to be the greatest poet and writer in Portugal and in the Portuguese language. The month is an opportunity to acknowledge and reflect on the contributions of Portuguese-Canadians.
“Portuguese explorers were among the first Europeans to lay eyes on what is now called Canada. Now home to one of the largest Portuguese Disporas in the world. Canada is enriched by its traditions, language, and culture. Canadians of Portuguese descent have contributed and continue to contribute their talent and hard work to the social, economic, political and cultural life in Canada, helping to build a more prosperous, inclusive and diverse country.”
