I am hosting a fundraiser, because I want to help Boston Children’s continue its amazing work for kids. Grant and his family have spent enough time at the hospital to appreciate the work being done each and every day but the doctors, nurses, child life specialists, and every other staff member and volunteer. I have requested that donations made here be allocated to the Manton Center, where scientists are working hard on the diagnosis and treatment of rare diseases like Grant's. Here are just a few things about Children's:

• The hospital's patient care programs are remarkably sensitive to what sick and injured children and their families really need.
• Researchers regularly make amazing discoveries that change children's lives.
• Boston Children's welcomes kids whose families can't afford health care—more than any other hospital in Massachusetts.
• Community programs make a point of reaching out to help low-income and at-risk kids.

And the hospital doesn't just stop there. Boston Children's truly understands the importance of training the next generation of top pediatricians and nurses, so they can continue to provide the best, most innovative care possible to kids.

Please support the work of the Manton Center for Orphan Disease Research and Boston Children’s Hospital. We can't thank you enough!
