Twelve years ago I ran the Boston Marathon to to raise money in support of my nephew Tucker, who was diagnosed with Leukemia at THREE years old. Because of the incredible care he got at Boston Children's Hospital, Tucker is now 17 years old and just ran his first marathon in November (check out the photo on the left)!
Helping children in their fight against cancer is deeply personal to me and so I've joined the Miles for Miracles team for the London Marathon because I am passionate about helping kids at Boston Children’s Hospital find lifesaving care, and give families hope, just like they did with Tucker. As an added bonus, I'll get my 4th star of the 6 World Marathon majors by completing London and complete my 13th overall marathon.
Will you help me reach my fundraising goal with a donation today?
Every dollar I raise funds breakthrough research, family supports, and vital services not covered by insurance through the hospital’s Every Child Fund. Your gift will:
- give children battling the most complex diseases treatments they can’t find anywhere else;
- help children in your town and those across the world get a second chance;
- fuel 3,000+ researchers working to find cures;
- help patient-families in crisis with urgent needs, including housing, food and clothing;
- bring crucial care to families through not 1, but 4 outpatient psychiatry clinics;
- and so much more.
Please support my fundraising—and the children and families at Boston Children’s and beyond.
