I am running the Bank of America Chicago Marathon for the patients at Lurie Children’s! 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:

$10 can buy a family a thermometer to detect early signs of life-threatening infections at home while their child is immunocompromised.

$14 can pay for a parking pass so both parents can come to bedside for dinner without thinking of the cost of another parking space. 

$50 can buy games and distractive toys for kids during their long hospital stays.  

$100 can support a parent attending one of our parents support groups.

$500 can help fund an event for our Adolescent and Yound Adult (AYA) group to support teens going through cancer treatment.

$1,000 can go towards finding better treatment for pediatric cancer and sickle cell disease. 

Thank you for helping us try and make things a little lighter!
