I'm participating in Yoga Reaches Out Yogathon, because I am passionate about helping kids and families at Boston Children's Hospital. On April 23, I'll join a community of more than 1,400 at Gillette Stadium for an inspirational day of yoga, music, and fundraising - all to bring lifesaving answers and hope to the sickest children from around the world.
I know first hand how important it is to have excellent healthcare close to home. In 2005, my four year old son was taken by med- flight to Boston Children’s hospital in respiratory distress during a severe case of croup. The care he received saved his life. We are forever grateful to the doctors, nurses, social workers and support staff who helped Paul get better and also supported us during that difficult time. Paul is now a strong and healthy Marine who is in school to become a paramedic.
