Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley has launched Dashing for Dylan: Walk, Run or Cycle, the sixth annual Dylan J. Hoffman Memorial event for the entire month of October. Dashing for Dylan will support the families at Ronald McDonald House located at the Maria Fareri Children”™s Hospital in Valhalla.
Dylan lived a short life, but his memory and spirit are alive and well. This event hosted by the Roald McDonald House in conjunction with the Hoffman Family of Wilton, Connecticut, will celebrate his life and the thousands of families who have stayed at the Ronald McDonald House since 2011 when it was opened.
This year the month-long event in October is being done slightly different due to the ongoing pandemic. Participants are encouraged to raise money per mile through the online platform Pledge It and can do any activity, at any location anytime during the month of October. Miles can be logged by walking, running, bike riding, swimming, skating or any kind of exercise. The Dashing for Dylan: Walk, Run or Cycle goal is to reach at least 1,164 miles, which is the exact amount of days Dylan lived ”” 1,164 days.
All proceeds will support the mission of Ronald McDonald House: Keeping Families Together and Close to the Care and Resources They Need. All donations made are 100% tax deductible. To register or for more information visit rmh-ghv.org or facebook.com/rmhghv/.
