I am running the Bank of America Chicago Marathon for the patients at Lurie Children’s Hospital! "A Little Lighter" is a fund that was created by one of my coworkers, a fellow nurse Ellie, to support families and patients that recieve treatment on our floor! We specalize in treating hematologolical and oncologic diagnoses found in children. I am dedicating my 26.2 miles to 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 to 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 experts.

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! From all of us on the Pediatric Oncology floor, we thank you greatly!
