I was helping with McHappy Day (an amazing day which raises money for Ronald McDonald House and local charities). Locally, our McDonald’s raised money for a charity that is near and dear to my heart, The James Fund and the Annual Nexicom James Fund Golf Classic.

Incredibly Inspiring…watch and listen to Greg Simpkins
