Sean Flanagan Welcome Home Reception at RMH-LI

The Ronald McDonald House of Long Island welcomed home Sean Flanagan from his six week cross-county bike ride which raised funds for the House.

The social worker from Sayville travelled over 3,500 miles from California to New Hyde Park sleeping in a tent along the way to maximize donations. During the course of his expedition Sean battled heavy rain, uncomfortable conditions and sixteen flat tires. You can view photos of Sean's journey at www.facebook.com/rmhli.

Sean's inspirational bike ride ended on the front lawn of RMH-LI where he was greeted by an impressive crowd of friends, family and supporters.

"I am happy to be home," said Sean Flanagan. "Hopefully, the families and children at The Ronald McDonald House of Long Island can see that anything is possible and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. If you have a goal, get it in your mind and go for it."

RMH-LI is still collecting donations on behalf of Sean's incredible ride. For more information, log on to www.rmhlongisland.org or call (516) 775-5683 Ext. 140.
