I am so excited to begin my 9th year as a patient partner on the Boston Children's Hospital Miles for Miracles marathon team! I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in August 2016 when I was 9 years old. I am so grateful that I live so close to Boston Children's Hospital, the #1 pediatric hospital in the country! The doctors here are top-notch, pioneering research and advancements in so many areas. In addition to amazing doctors, everyone from the infusion center staff where I get my treatments to the inpatient nurses and child life specialists does such a wonderful job caring for sick kids. After many missed days of school, medications, procedures and hospitalizations, I have been doing great for the past 7 years thanks to the hard work of everyone at BCH! I want to continue to raise money to help give all sick kids there the same opportunity for a healthy life that I have been given.
Please consider making a donation to help BCH continue its lifesaving work for so many children. Thank you!
