Countdown to the Fall Nutrition Challenge

Posted August 29, 2018

The nutrition challenge was an eye opener for me. I really needed help with portion control as well as limiting my cheat meals when the challenge was over.  I do feel like it is more difficult to loose weight (body fat) at my age but I know it can be done. I was able to loose weight during the Spring Nutrition Challenge, and that has helped keep me going through the summer.  I feel a lot more energized in my workouts. I continue to see progress.

I still have work to do which is why I am looking forward to taking on the Fall Nutrition Challenge. My goal this time around is to be completely cheat meal free. Bring on the success!

Battle at the Board- Ronald McDonald House of Delaware

Posted May 23, 2017

We are so excited to announce our charity of choice this year will be the Ronald McDonald House of Delaware! In 1991, they opened up to provide families with a safe, comfortable, affordable place to stay while their children received treatment at nearby hospitals. In the 26 years since opening, they have expanded services to include relaxing Family Rooms in 3 Delaware hospitals, a meal program that utilizes volunteer groups to prepare dinner 365 days/year, shuttle services for errands and recreation, and a ton of passes to local establishments for families to enjoy their time here as much as possible given the circumstances.

The House’s proximity to Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children keeps the 50 guest rooms occupied at high rates with families from across the United States and around the world.

· Shortest stay: 1 night

· Longest stay: 2+ years

· Families served in 2016: 2,103

· Operating cost: $72 per room per night

· Average family contribution: $4.28 per night

This is why donations and fundraisers are so important for us to be able to keep families close to their loved ones in the hospital! To donate, please see the front desk!
