Raelynn Brassard - Secretary
Raelynn is a Masters student at the University of Alberta in the department of Biochemistry. Her first experience with the Ronald McDonald House was planning a Meals That Mend on behalf of a university group. Being from a rural town, she appreciated the impact the RMHC has on the families staying there and wanted to become more involved. Raelynn co-founded a volunteer and fundraising group at the U of A to raise awareness and funds for RMHC Edmonton. After completing her undergraduate degree she continued her support as a weekly volunteer at the house as well as membership chair of the Red Shoe Society. Raelynn is very excited to be involved with the RSS and looks forward to building new relationships with the house, community and the RRS team!
