Charities

 

The Thunder Road Marathon benefits several local charities that provide vital resources to people who face a variety of challenges each day. In return for the financial support they receive, all beneficiaries have contributed to the success of this event by providing resources, mostly in the form of volunteers.

New In 2013!

Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte and Novant Hemby Children’s Hospital have partnered as beneficiaries.

THE RONALD McDONALD HOUSE OF CHARLOTTE
The Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte is a 28 bedroom “home away from home” for the families of seriously ill or injured children who travel to Charlotte for care in our local children’s hospitals.

The House offers more than just a comfortable bed to guests. Each day, our volunteers provide families with freshly baked treats, warm home-cooked meals, family-friendly programs and, above all, comfort and compassion. Since opening in May 2011, the House has served more than 900 families from the Carolinas, around the USA and nearly a dozen countries.

NOVANT HEALTH HEMBY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL
Novant Hemby Children’s Hospital offers patients remarkable medicine, while offering parents peace of mind. From neonatal and pediatric intensive care to a wide variety of pediatric specialties, Hemby Children’s Hospital is small enough to give patients individualized attention, yet large enough to attract some of the most skilled doctors and nurses in the region. And for families who live in outlying communities, Novant Hospital Matthews and Novant Hospital Huntersville provide dedicated pediatric services so that patients can receive excellent care while staying close to home.
