I am running the Bank of America Chicago Marathon for the patients at Lurie Children’s! When my daughter was 24 years old I thought my need for a children's hospital for her was over, but I was wrong. When she required surgery to repair a very large hole in her heart, Lurie was the only hospital in the state, and one of just a handful in the country, where the surgery could be done, and it was quite literally life changing for her, and as a result, our family.
I am dedicating my 26.2 miles to advancing research, supporting families and helping to provide access for more kids.
As a nonprofit hospital, Lurie Children’s depends on donations to provide the best care for kids. I hope you’ll help me reach my goal in support of the patients and families at Lurie Children’s.
Here’s how your donations can make a difference:
$100 is enough help make a child’s hospital stay a more positive experience with activities, supplies and toys.
$250 can provide patients with the support they need to thrive after lengthy hospital stays.
$500 supports clinical trials to help discover new or more effective treatment options.
$1000 means we can train the next generation of specialists.
All donations are tax-deductible and will be acknowledged by Lurie Children’s Foundation.
On behalf of the patients and families of Lurie Children’s, thank you for your support!
