I am fundraising for Children's Hospital!

This will be my 7th year running the Boston Marathon as a member of the Miles for Miracles team for my patient partner Kendal Powe. Kendal was born 10/10/03 with life threatening complications, but today thanks to the care of Children's Hospital Boston, she is a thriving 8 year old girl!

Kendal's mom, Tara, wrote about Kendal's birth experience here:

Please take a few minutes to read this story and you will understand what Children's Hospital means to family's like this.

I'm fundraising for this event because I believe so strongly in all the good things Children's Hospital Boston does for kids. Its patient care programs are unusually sensitive to what sick and injured children and their families really need. Its researchers regularly make amazing discoveries that change children's lives. It welcomes kids whose families can't afford health care-more than any other hospital in Massachusetts. It makes a point of reaching out to local communities to help low-income and at-risk kids. And it really gets the importance of training the next generation of top pediatricians and nurses.
