Ten-year-old Haylen Astalos from Grande Prairie, Alberta has been raising money for Ronald McDonald House Charities since his fifth birthday.
Guests at Haylen’s fifth birthday party were asked to bring two $5 bills: one that he got to keep and one that he got to donate to a charity of his choice. Haylen decided he wanted to give the funds to RMHC to help keep families close when a child is being treated in hospital.
Since then, he has raised more than $30,000 by selling ice cream treats at local events – or even just at the bottom of his driveway.
