I've joined Miles for Miracles for the TCS New York City Marathon because I am passionate about supporting Boston Children’s Hospital, where I've had the privilege of working for six years. I learn something new every day about the amazing advances made by our researchers and clinicians to improve the health and well-being of children near and far.
When I was seven, I was diagnosed with scoliosis and needed to wear a corrective brace until I was 14. The most widely used brace for scoliosis, the Boston Brace, was developed at Boston Children’s more than 40 years ago. While I wasn't a patient at Boston Children's, I am an example of how we all benefit from the research and treatments coming out of this incredible institution.
I am so excited to run my third marathon and my first with the Miles for Miracles team. Will you help me reach my fundraising goal with a donation today?
Every dollar I raise funds breakthrough research, family support services, and vital care 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 locally and 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 outpatient psychiatry clinics;
- and so much more.
Please support my fundraising—and help the children and families at Boston Children’s and beyond.
