I'm honored to run the Boston Marathon this year to give back to a place that has given so much to me and my family. My older brother, Ben, has been a patient at Children's his entire life. At 9 weeks old, he was diagnosed with a rare liver disease, and at 12 he had a highly successful liver transplant.
My family and I are so grateful for the care he has received there and for the kindness of his doctors and nurses. Ben has run the Boston and London marathons for Children's, and I look forward to carrying on the family tradition this year!
Every dollar I raise funds the very best medical care, breakthrough research and vital support services for sick kids and their families. Your gift will:
- help children from your town and across the world get a second chance at life;
- give kids battling the most complex diseases care they can't find anywhere else;
- fuel 3,000+ researchers working to develop new treatments and cures;
- support patient programs, like music and art therapy, to let kids be kids, even during long hospital stays;
- help patient families in crisis with urgent needs, such as food, clothing and housing;
- deliver the most compassionate, leading-edge care to every child who needs it.
Thank you for supporting my fundraising and helping the incredible kids and families at Boston Children's Hospital.
