As many of you know, our son Jordan was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect called Transposition of the Great Arteries before he was born. This diagnosis meant that he would need open heart surgery within his first week of life in order to survive, and we were overwhelmingly lucky to have Boston Children’s Hospital behind us every step of the way. Without BCH, our story could have looked so much different with much greater heartache. We are thankful every single day for them and we are reminded of how lucky we truly are each time we see our sweet baby’s smile light up a room. ❤❤
While we could never really repay the gift that BCH has given us, our family is so excited to be joining the Eversource Walk for Children on June 9th, 2024. We hope that the funds we raise can offer at least some support to the incredible members of the Boston Children’s community - especially those who have fought, continue to fight, or will fight in the future for the lives of their children. ❤
Every dollar we raise funds breakthrough research and vital care and support services for sick kids and their families. If you would like to donate, 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 consider supporting our fundraiser by donating, or join us on June 9th if you’d like! Jordan, Kennedy, Joey, and I thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for your support! ❤❤❤
