I'm participating in the Eversource Walk for Boston Children’s Hospital on June 9.
Keeping the Beat Retreat is a weekend long summer camp-like experience for children from the ages of 6 to 17 with Pacemakers and ICDs. This camp gives these kids the opportunity to challenge themselves and participate in activities they might not be able to elsewhere. In addition to allowing campers to bond with their peers who can relate to what they've been through medically; it is an opportunity they most likely do not get in their everyday lives. The BCH medical staff, the Camp Burgess/Heyward staff and some incredible volunteers make this weekend as action packed, safe and FUN as possible.
I worked for Boston Children's Hospital for 5 years before joining Boston Scientific and I have been able to volunteer as a camp counselor at KTBR for 2 camp weekends- I am excited to walk and fundraise to help continue Keeping the Beat Retreat.
Your gift will support fundraising to help the children and families at Boston Children's and beyond!
