I am running the Bank of America Chicago Marathon as the team leader again for the patients on Lurie Children’s hematology/oncology/stem cell transplant floor! I am dedicating my 26.2 miles to advancing research, supporting families and helping to provide access and supplies 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:

Decorating patient's rooms

Gifting therapeutic toys 

Having bubble parades to celebrate discharges after transplant and final chemo stays

Providing parking passes for caregivers and loved ones

Donating to research 

Providing child friendly medical equipment

Hosting teen events

Funding parent's support groups

All donations are tax-deductible and will be acknowledged by A Little Lighter.

On behalf of the patients and families as well as all of the nurses of Lurie Children’s, thank you for your support!
