I've joined the Miles for Miracles team for the 2024 Boston Marathon to help the brave kids and families at Boston Children's Hospital. My patient partner was my 1 year old great granddaughter. She was a heart patient at BCH and was in ICU awaiting a heart transplant. Sadly, she lost her battle with HLHS on 11/28. Now, I will run in her memory. Until your family goes through something like this, you have no idea of the strain involved, at least I know I didn't. The doctors and nurses were nothing short of wonderful to Lilah and her family, as I know they are for every family that finds itself at Boston Children's.
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.
