I'm participating in the Eversource Walk for Boston Children’s Hospital on June 9.
On August 11, 2022, my grandchildren, Lucas and Emerson Lane were born at 25 weeks gestation at Elliot Hospital in Manchester, NH. Weighing just a little over 1 pound each, they needed extraordinary care. For 133 days, through many setbacks and hardships, they fought along with their parents and caregivers for their lives. Part of this journey took them to Boston Children's Hospital for care they could not receive elsewhere. The BCH staff was dedicated, caring and supported not only Lucas and Emerson but their parents as well. Due to their hard work, Lucas and Emerson are now healthy, happy one year olds growing and developing more each day. I walk this year with thanks for the gift of my grandchildren, a debt I will never be able to repay.
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.
