Hi! My name is Sophia Caira and I am running the 2025 Boston Marathon with the Miles For Miracles team at Boston Children’s Hospital. I have committed to raising $10,000, but am hoping to raise as much money as possible!

I began volunteering at BCH in 2016 when I was a sophomore in high school. It was the best part of my week, and I loved spending time with the physicians, staff, patients, and their families. I loved the mission and atmosphere at Children’s so much that I promised myself if I ever ran the marathon I would want to fundraise with the Miles for Miracles team. 

Best of all, I am running in honor of my little friend, Elizabeth Finnegan. Elizabeth was born with a heart defect, and received life-saving care at BCH. During the pandemic, I was home from college and began babysitting for the Finnegans. Much like my time at Children’s, it quickly became my favorite part of the week. I spent my afternoons with Elizabeth, who always left me stunned by how much wit, spunk, and life she has in her little body. She is such a special little girl and I will always treasure the relationship I have with her and her family. Elizabeth is living proof of the amazing work of Boston Children’s Hospital!

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.
