Remembering Don Mullins
Mullins' proudest achievement was his involvement in founding Ronald McDonald House Houston.

In the 1970s, Don lost his young son, Troy, following a hard-fought battle with lymphoma. Troy was being treated at Texas Children’s Hospital, where Don served on the board of trustees. Throughout Troy’s treatment, Don and his family would spend day-in and day-out at Texas Children’s Hospital.
