Archie's Room at Ronald McDonald House

In January 2009 we had a presentation appointment with Denise, Manager of Ronald McDonald House (Bristol).We donated £3,000 the cost of one room for a year from Archie's fund. It was an absolute honour to be able to do this. Denise and her staff provided us with a comfortable, safe, loving home to stay in at the most frightening and devastating time in our lives.

We have enormous respect for Denise. She is hard working, committed , dedicated and extremely loved by my Family and many others. So we thank you so much Denise, you will always be in our thoughts where ever we are. XXXXXXXXXXXX Keep up the good work that you do.
