Friends, Family, Community,
I am thrilled and honored to share that I’ve been selected to join the Miles for Miracles 2025 Boston Marathon team to help the brave kids at Boston Children's Hospital.
This charity is particularly special to me for many reasons. I will be running for:
- All the BCH patients who have received blood donations and the families of those patients who I’ve connected with through hosting blood drives for the past ten years
- My sister, Kara, who underwent heart surgery as a newborn and was in the incredible care of BCH staff for six months
- My son, Matthew, who was born with a horseshoe kidney and was a BCH urology patient for the first five years of his life
- Matthew’s buddy, Jeremiah, who is a walking miracle due to the quick thinking and expertise of BCH staff when he presented with bacterial meningitis as a newborn
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.
Thank you for being part of this journey with me!
Katie
