I've joined the Miles for Miracles team to help the brave kids at Boston Children's Hospital.
Every dollar raised will be going to a great cause.
It is my turn to run on behalf of my very own Kylie Elizabeth Patten.
Kylie's Back Story:
Kylie is a beautiful girl who had a tumor growing in the hub of her brain. The Thalamus had a Tumor which started to increase in size. Kristen, Kylie's mom would not rest until she got all of the answers needed to help Kylie. After countless appointments and one hospital saying that they were not comfortable doing the surgery. Kristen pushed for more answers. Boston Children's Hospital, took on this case, did their own studies and came up with a plan. The surgeon who was cool as a cucumber, made this experience as comforting as can be. She stated that she would take care of Kylie even though the surgery would not be easy. Giving us hope with a breath of fresh air we scheduled a surgery date. The day of the surgery Kylie needed to be there around 7am to prep for surgery. By 7:30am she was wheeled away. After a long day which felt like a lifetime we were brought to see Kylie 10:30pm. Talking with the surgeon, her team completely removed the tumor. After a MRI she stitched Kylie up and brought us to her. When we got to Kylie we noticed that not one stich of hair was removed from Kylies head. If it was not for Covid, I would have given the entire staff a giant hug.
This all started when Kylie's vision went completely dark during Halloween. This scary moment happened while I was at work. I thank Boston Children's Hospital as well as Kristen for their vigorous efforts. I have done what I could to support Kylie, through endless appointments, going through the MRI machines with her to keep her calm, etc. I don't feel it measures up to her strength, or Kristen's efforts, but as a dad it is my job to continue to support Kylie any way that I can.
This brave little girl is the reason that I am going to push myself to run 26.2 miles in one of the biggest races in the North East.
Please help me reach my goal of $12,500
