We're participating in the Eversource Walk for Boston Children’s Hospital on June 9.
We are grateful for the care Lexie has received over the years as a congenital heart patient at Boston Children's Hospital. She's endured many visits and procedures at BCH since she was 10 months old. She had open heart surgery when she was just 14 months old to fix a structural issue and has had 9 cardiac catheterizations to balloon dilate her pulmonary artery stenosis over the years since. Each visit requires 3 days in the hospital, including the pre-op rodeo, the day of the surgery where we stay one night, and then discharge the following day. She's strong and fearless (aside from needle-poking, she very much dislikes that!).
We're so fortunate to live so close to one of the best heart center hospitals for kids. We've witnessed so many other families travel hours and miles to get the same care we receive within an hour drive. Every dollar we raise will support the Heart Center Urgent Needs for those families who travel from all over the world to receive care and for those who experience financial hardship. We appreciate any donations made on her behalf to BCH for the exceptional care they provide to kids like Lexie. To date, TeamLexie has raised over $35,000 for BCH!
Thank you for supporting my fundraising and the children and families at Boston Children's and beyond.
