Angus Grant and his sisters Addison (left) and Zoe. Arriving at Christchurch Hospital with her desperately ill 10-year-old son, she did not care if she slept on the hospital floor. The Grants are the Ronald McDonald House Charities New Zealand’s House to House 2026 hero family. Angus received treatment for leukaemia in Christchurch Hospital and then a bone marrow transplant at Starship Hospital in Auckland. Throughout Angus’ treatment in Christchurch and Auckland, Ronald McDonald House was a lifeline for the family, providing them with more than 100 nights’ accommodation.
