In lieu of gifts for Peggy's  birthday Rick has requested that donations be made to Children's Hospital in memory of their son, Timmy. Chidlren's Hospital was Timmy's home for 9 months as he battled a very rare lung disease.  The caring and dedicated staff of doctors and nurses worked tirelessly to help him and support his family.  Because of Children's, Rick and Peg were able to have Timmy with them for as long as they did.  As many of you know, Rick and Peg created their own annual fundraiser for the hospital for 5 years in Timmy's memory. I know she would love nothing more than to be able to use her birthday to contnue to support somethng that holds such a special place in her heart.  You may give online or by check. Feel free to let Peggy know of your gift in a birthday card you can bring to the party. Children's  Hospital will also keep track of the donations and will provide a report I can give to Peg after her birthday.  If you prefer to donate by check you can mail your donation to:

Boston Chidlren's Hospital Trust

Attn: Mackenzie Clark

401 Park Drive Suite 602

Boston, MA 02215-3354

Be sure to designate that the gift is in memory of Timmy Bernard  and made in honor of Peg Bernard's birthday.

A gift such as this would mean the world to Peggy.  And in turn, to so many other children and families as well.

Thank you so much
