I am participating in the Eversource Walk for Boston Children’s Hospital on June 9. I am doing this to support my dear friends Mark, Heather and sweet little Ellie Sanders. Ellie was diagnosed with a rare congenital heart defect that would have resulted in her heart completely failing if a few more months passed by. She had emergency open heart surgery in November and is doing great today all because of the people and resources from Boston Children's Hospital. I am raising funds for the “Heart Center Urgent Needs” fund to help families and children in a similar situation to Ellie get the care they need even if they lack the resources to make it happen on their own. No amount is too small and all donations are appreciated.
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.
