Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Philadephia Region is marking its 40th anniversary by inviting the families it has served to share their stories on social media using the hashtag #forRMHC.

The social media campaign will began Oct. 8 and continues through Oct. 15.

"The anniversary is an opportunity to connect people in our community with others from around the world who have a shared experience through RMHC," says Bill Roberson, president of RMHC of the Philadelphia Region Inc. in a press release. "No one understands the emotional and physical stress RMHC families go through better than the families who have experienced it themselves, the volunteers who are there every day to support them and the donors who help ensure we can support as many parents and children as possible. This celebration is an incredible opportunity to come together and see the impact RMHC has around the world and we are incredibly proud that it all started in Philadelphia 40 years ago."
