The McLaughlin Family’s Story
When Amy and Doug McLaughlin
brought their two-month-old son
Teddy to the doctor, they already knew
something was wrong.“We could not
get him to gain weight no matter what
we did,” says Amy.“We were feeding
him around the clock.He was
increasingly having trouble breathing.”
The doctor examined Teddy and
immediately sent the family to the
hospital.“He told us to put Teddy back
into the car and drive to The Children’s
Hospital of Philadelphia.There would
be a bed waiting for us.”
Teddy’s three-year-old sister Charlee
was also able to stay at the House.
“That really made a big difference,”
Amy says.“It let her spend time with
us and her brother.The House is so
kid-friendly. It gave her a lot of
things to do that made her feel
special.The last time we went home,
she said ‘No, the Ronald McDonald
House will miss me. I want to
stay here.’”
Amenities like the Guest Chef
program were also a big help to

have jaw reconstruction that should enable him to breathe without a tube.
During this time,Teddy underwent three surgeries,
including the insertion of both a feeding and
tracheostomy tube so that he could eat and
breathe.The House offered the McLaughlins, who
are from New Jersey, more than just a place to sleep
while they were here.“It is not just the room, which
is fabulous, but all of the other little things that the
House provides,”says Amy.“Just being with other
parents who are in the same situation that you
are in. Everyone staying at the House – they
really get it.”
“We know our time at The Children’s Hospital
is not over, and we have a long journey
going forward,” says Amy. Still, knowing her
family can stay at the Philadelphia Ronald
McDonald House makes the road ahead
seem easier.“It is like my second home
now. Coming in, it makes one thing less
complicated when you have this very
complicated situation with having a sick
child.Thank you for taking some of the
everyday burdens off of our shoulders so
we could focus on our children.”

Message From The
Executive Director
Join us for the
2nd Annual
Southwest Airlines Plane Pull
It is an extraordinary honor to have
been nominated and chosen to
participate in the Olympic Torch Relay
representing the Executive Directors of
the Ronald McDonald Houses in the East
Region. I traveled to Toronto to carry the
torch on December 19, 2009, which was
Day 51 of the 106-day Torch Relay to
Vancouver. On February 12, 2010, the
Olympic flame will have traveled by
land, air, and water through more than
1,000 Canadian communities, and over
12,000 people will have the honor of
being an Olympic Torchbearer.
to Benefit
The Philadelphia Ronald
McDonald House
Sunday, May 2, 2010
Atlantic Aviation
Next to the Philadelphia International Airport
As a torchbearer, I was part of a widely diverse group of individuals that had
one common goal – to pass the Olympic flame for over 45,000 kilometers
along a 106-day journey. My participation in this once-in-a-lifetime
experience is dedicated to the thousands of parents, patients, siblings, and
other caregivers who come through our doors with one common goal – to
make sure that their child, sibling, or family member receives life-saving
medical treatment. Each night, 60 families with diverse backgrounds come
together and support one another through this time in their life. I admire
their strength, courage, and determination.
The Plane Pull is a giant tug-of-war
between your team of 20 and a hefty
Southwest Boeing 737.You’ll compete
to see which team can pull the plane
50 feet with the fastest time.
It’s fun, wacky, and best of all, raises
vital funds for the families we serve.
Prizes will be awarded for Overall
Fastest Pull, Top Team Fundraiser, &
Top Individual Fundraiser.
A special thank you to Coca-Cola, a presenting partner of the Olympic Torch
Relay, for the wonderful opportunity to participate.

The Season of Giving at The Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House
Each year, the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House relies on the generosity of our dedicated donors to make the holidays special for the families we serve. From
monetary gifts through our Share A Night campaign, to presents and much-needed household items through our Adopt a Family and Holiday Wish List collections,
to delicious meals through our Guest Chef program, we are grateful to every individual, business, and organization who helped make the holidays just a little
brighter.To see more photos of those who make a difference during the holiday season and throughout the year, browse our photo gallery at www.philarmh.org.
Carlos Telchi, age 13, presents the proceeds of a flamenco dance
show his parents hosted to benefit PRMH to Doug Metcalfe, our
House Manager. Carlos and his family, from Florida, stayed at the
House in 2009 during his treatment for a skull-based tumor.
On December 17, families staying at the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald
House enjoyed a bit of cheer at the annual holiday party. Fred’s
Foodsteps made the event extra special by being on hand to provide
every member of every family with a brand new coat, hat, and pair
of gloves, along with much-needed gas and shopping gift cards.
Independence Blue Cross prepared the dinner at each House.
The House is shown illuminated at our Share A Night Celebration at Chestnut Street.
Each light on the House represents a donation made to support a family’s nightly
stay.Thank you to our generous in-kind donors and entertainers for the events at
both Houses including Holy Child Academy Drexel Hill Hand Bell Choir & Senior
Choir,The Ridgeway Singers, the Sugar Plum Fairy from The Pennsylvania Ballet,
Music Uniting Students in Caring (MUSIC) Club, Ronald McDonald, Coca-Cola,

Chestnut Street in honor of 6ABC’s Gary Papa and his family, and to Davio’s
Northern Italian Steakhouse for providing the food at Front & Erie.

The Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House Celebrates 35 Years
2009 marked the 35th birthday of the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House – the very first Ronald McDonald House in the world and the model for the over 290
Houses worldwide.To commemorate this anniversary, we celebrated with two special events.
First, on Thursday, October 15 – our actual 35th birthday – we hosted a celebration at our Chestnut Street location. House founders Dr. Audrey E. Evans and Jimmy
Murray joined children and families in helping Ann’s Cake Pan decorate a huge cake designed to look just like our House.Thank you to Ann’s Cake Pan for generously
donating the cake and the students from Perelman Jewish Day School and Penn Alexander School for helping out with the celebration.
Then, on Friday, November 6, over 800 guests gathered at the Please Touch Museum to continue the festivities.The big event featured the presentation of the first
ever Dr. Audrey E.Evans Award of Excellence to Dr. Jean Bennett, Dr.Katherine High, and Dr. Albert Maguire for their groundbreaking work in reversing congenital
childhood blindness, along with a speech by PRMH Family Room Coordinator and previous House guest Suzie Norvilas.Mayor Nutter also addressed the crowd.
The party raised over $450,000 for the families we serve.Special thanks to the evening’s Honorary Chairs Marian & Norman Wolgin and Gini & Stu Peltz and
Chairs Joan Emmi & Judy Boreham, along with all of the other wonderful sponsors, donors, and attendees who made the evening possible.
