I am lucky enough to have both personal and professional connections to Boston Children's Hospital and I am so excited to be representing this organization for the 2025 Boston Marathon!
My experience with Boston Children's Hospital began when my older sister was receiving orthopedic care for her cerebral palsy here in the early 2000s. I am now currently a Clinical Social Worker at Boston Children's Hospital and see the impact this hospital has on children and families each day.
I am running the 2025 Boston Marathon on behalf of my patient partner Elle, who is 3 years old and received a kidney transplant at Boston Children's Hospital last November! Since then, Elle has been thriving and healthy. I am grateful to be running on behalf of such an amazing and strong family!
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.
Please support my fundraising and help the incredible kids and families at Boston Children's Hospital. Thank you for all the support!
