My dad is running the London Marathon to support kids like me. I was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis at the age of one and have been receiving treatment ever since then. My condition causes pain and swelling in my joints, mostly my knees and ankles, and I receive monthly infusions and take other medicine to manage the inflammation. I am so thankful to Boston Children’s Hospital and to the marathon runners who are helping support it. I've joined the Miles for Miracles team because I believe so strongly in all the amazing things Boston Children's Hospital does for kids:
- The hospital's patient care programs are unusually sensitive to what sick and injured children and their families really need.
- Researchers regularly make amazing discoveries that change children's lives.
- Boston Children's welcomes kids whose families can't afford health care--more than any other hospital in Massachusetts.
- Community programs makes a point of reaching out to help low-income and at-risk kids.
And the hospital doesn't just stop there. Boston Children's really understands the importance of training the next generation of top pediatricians and nurses, so they can continue to provide the best, most innovative care possible to kids.
Support me, and support the hospital! Please make a gift today.
