Your impact
Your fundraising helps provide lifesaving answers for the sickest kids and their families, many with nowhere else to turn. All funds raised by individuals (not on a team) go directly to the Every Child Fund—supporting care and services for patient families that are not covered by insurance and advancing promising research.
