I'm participating in the Eversource Walk for Boston Children’s Hospital on June 9.
Most of you know that Catelyn was diagnosed with a rare brain abnormality called Ventriculomegaly when I was 18 weeks pregnant with her. When another hospital told us she would likely never walk, talk, or possibly eat, and suggested termination, we made an appointment at Boston Children's to get a second opinion. The amazing neurology team at Children's gave us hope and followed Catelyn's development until she was 18 months, when they told us to go home, enjoy our sweet and perfectly healthy girl and call them if we see any future issues. We will always be grateful for Boston Children's Hospital, and we will always make them one of the causes that we happily raise money for!
Every dollar I raise funds breakthrough research and vital care and support services for sick kids and their families. Your gift will:
- give children battling the most complex diseases treatments they can’t find anywhere else;
- help children in your town and across the world get a second chance;
- fuel 3,600+ researchers working to find cures;
- fund hospital activities like art and music programs to bring patients joy and hasten healing;
- help patient-families in crisis with urgent needs, including housing, food and clothing;
- bring crucial care to families through not one, but four, outpatient psychiatry clinics;
- and so much more.
Please support my fundraising and help the children and families at Boston Children’s and beyond. THANK YOU!
