McHappy Day 2008

I’ll be putting on the apron and selling a few Big Macs tomorrow.

No, it’s not a way of supplementing my income. I won’t even be getting paid.

Saturday the 15th of November is McHappy Day, an annual event that raises funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities to help seriously ill children live happier, healthier lives.

Each year local media, sporting, political and community personalities are asked to get involved by serving behind the counter or collecting money from those in the restaurants. I’ve helped out at McHappy Day several times in the past and I’m looking forward to getting involved again.

I’m certainly no celebrity but it’s nice to be asked to help out as part of my work at 98.5 Sonshine FM.

From 10:30 to 11:30 tomorrow morning I’ll be at McDonalds in Tuart Hill on the corner of Waneroo Road and Morley Drive, so if you’re in the area please drop in and say hello. They have a great McCafe if you want to drop in for a coffee.

I’ll be teaming up with my Friday morning radio guest, Jill Bonanno, so it should be a very entertaining time to be at Maccas. I’ll post some photos here after the event.
